The elution of radium adsorbed by microbial bioman
Abstract
The present work examines the equilibrium and kinetics of the elution of radium-226 adsorbed by inactive (dead) microbial biomass. Two biomass types, P. chrysogenum and activated sludge, were examined. Values were determined for engineering design parameters such as eluant type, eluant concentration and solid to liquid ratio. Five eluants (EDTA, NTAA, TAC, HCl, HNO3) were selected and studied. The mineral acids and EDTA were shown to be the …
