[Report on] Separation of Cesium from Sodium by Means of Fuller's Earth, July 15, 1949Location: Active:
Originating Office: Unknown Finding Aids: Classified index Disposition AuthorityUnscheduled Series Description: This 1949 report documents the results of experiments done to determine whether fuller's earth ("a natural, fine-grained earthy material with a high adsorptive power") could be used to adsorb cesium from solutions with a high sodium presence (i.e., during electrolyte processing of Hanford waste at K-25). The report explains the materials and equipment used in the experiment; experiment procedures; and results of the various experiments. The amount of recovered cesium is usually given as percent removed, along with a decontamination factor.
