Abstract
A new sorbent, thorium oxalate incorporated in silica gel matrix was prepared. This material was characterized by X-ray, Thermo-gravimetric Analysis, surface area and porosity analysis. The material was obtained in the form of granular particles in the mesh size range of 80–150 American Standard of Testing Materials, yielding good liquid flow, when packed in ion exchange column. This sorbent was investigated for the sorption of americium from various aqueous media such as nitric acid, oxalic acid and sulphuric acid by distribution coefficient studies. Column experiments were carried out to study the practical application of this sorbent for removal of americium from oxalic acid-nitric acid solutions. Elution studies were also carried out for the recovery of americium.
