<p>A method for the removal, separation, and concentration of cesium cations from a source solution which may contain larger concentrations of other alkali metal ions comprises bringing the source solution into contact with a polymeric resin containing poly(hydroxyarylene) ligands. The process is useful in the removal of cesium cations from a variety of source solutions such as from semiconductor, nuclear waste cleanup, metals refining, electric power, and other industrial enterprises. The invention is also drawn to the poly(hydroxyarylene)-ligand-containing polymeric resins.</p> |
