ABSTRACT

New strong anionite resins manufactured by the PUROLITE Company were studied comparing with the older AM resin, for U (VI) separation concentration from model solutions. Loading capacities for U (VI) were established using resins, A -500 and SGA- 600 respectively, followed by the study of loading capacity variation related to the recycling number.

Mechanical resistance determination was performed for SGA-600 and AM resins, showing superior characteristics for these resins and enabling their use in “Resin In Pulp” process.
