FIXATION OF ANIONIC MATERIALS WITH A COMPLEXING AGENT

摘要

Fixation Of Anionic Materials With A Complexing Agent A composition comprising a support such as a porous silicate glass or silica gel or charcoal having interconnected pores and containing heavy metal cations of mercury, thallium, silver, platinum, palladium, lead or copper capable of forming a stable complex with an anion bonded to the support. The preferred heavy metal cation is a mercury cation. The composition is especially useful for removing radioactive iodine from liquid and gaseous waste streams.
