TI  - Treatment of radioactive liquid waste by sorption on natural zeolite in Turkey.
PG  - 332-5
AB  - Liquid radioactive waste has been generated from the use of radioactive materials 
      in industrial applications, research and medicine in Turkey. Natural zeolites 
      (clinoptilolite) have been studied for the removal of several key radionuclides 
      ((137)Cs, (60)Co, (90)Sr and (110m)Ag) from liquid radioactive waste. The aim of 
      the present study is to investigate effectiveness of zeolite treatment on 
      decontamination factor (DF) in a combined process (chemical precipitation and 
      adsorption) at the laboratory tests and scale up to the waste treatment plant. In 
      this study, sorption and precipitation techniques were adapted to decontamination 
      of liquid low level waste (LLW). Effective decontamination was achieved when 
      sorbents are used during the chemical precipitation. Natural zeolite samples were 
      taken from different zeolite formations in Turkey. Comparison of the ion-exchange 
      properties of zeolite minerals from different formations shows that Gordes 
      clinoptilolite was the most suitable natural sorbent for radionuclides under 
      dynamic treatment conditions and as an additive for chemical precipitation 
      process. Clinoptilolite were shown to have a high selectivity for (137)Cs and 
      (110m)Ag as sorbent. In the absence of potassium ions, native clinoptilolite 
      removed (60)Co and (90)Sr very effectively from the liquid waste. In the end of 
      this liquid waste treatment, decontamination factor was provided as 430 by using 
      0.5 mm clinoptilolite at 30 degrees C.
