Abstrakt: The optimal conditions for the synthesis of a pelletized sorbent based on mixed Mn(III, IV) oxide by reacting aqueous solutions of MnSO4 and KMnO4 in an alkaline medium were determined: Mn2+/MnO4 molar ratio 1.70–1.80; pH of the reaction mixture 11.0–12.5; calcination temperature 220°C. For the sorbent fabricated under optimal conditions, the values ​​of the distribution coefficient (Kd) of 90Sr in 0.01 M CaCl2 solution, static exchange capacity for calcium, hydromechanical strength of granules, and Kd of 90Sr as a function of the concentration of sodium and calcium ions were established. The sorbent afforded higher sorption characteristics with respect to strontium compared to known sorbents. A technology for producing pilot batches of the sorbent named MDM, was developed. Examples of the use of the MDM sorbent for the purification of various types of liquid radioactive waste from strontium and radium radionuclides are reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
