 has been calculated with the help of the kinetic model. The results revealed that the use of cation-ion exchange resin in a packed bed for potassium-40 separation is a promising technique for polluted water treatment in view of the fact that potassium-40 ion removal rates up to 61% were obtained.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/924.jpg)

The removal of potassium-40 from liquid solution polluted with potassium chloride using a cation-ion exchange resin was studied in a packed bed. The efficiency of dowex resin to remove potassium-40 from synthesis wastewater has been tested at different amounts of the resin bed. The kinetic equation has been found to fit well for the study of exchange dynamics. The uptake constant (p=0.0318 cm-1) has been calculated with the help of the kinetic model. The results revealed that the use of cation-ion exchange resin in a packed bed for potassium-40 separation is a promising technique for polluted water treatment in view of the fact that potassium-40 ion removal rates up to 61% were obtained.
