Full Description

This article describes an ion exchange process that can be used to remove barium (Ba) and radium (Ra) from water. In the studies, a strong acid resin in the calcium form effectively removed Ba2+ and Ra2+ to meet standards. The resin was regenerated with reclaimed brine, which would reduce disposal problems in actual practice. Total hardness, alkalinity, pH, and other water quality parameters remained unchanged. Additional research is needed, however, to refine the process and establish the costs. Includes 14 references, tables, figures.
