Abstract
Aqueous solutions of 131I and of 137Cs were passed through an ion exchange resin column. The resin bed consisted of a 2:1 mixture of cation and anion exchange resins, Diaion SKN-1 in H form and Diaion SAN-1 in OH form. The decontamination factors for these radioisotopes were determined at various flow rates, i.e., space velocities of 25–200. The decontamination factor decreased with increasing flow rate for both radioisotopes. The Kd value of l37Cs between Diaion SKN-1 and water was about half that of 131I between Diaion SAN-1 and water, but D.F. of 137Cs was higher. Distribution of 137Cs in the resin column was also studied. Most of radioactivity was found at the top of the resin column.
