The Effect of Magnetic Fields on Uranium and Strontium Sorption on Monosodium Titanate

Abstract

The presence of a magnetic field gradient enhanced the rate of strontium and uranium sorption onto monosodium titanate. The enhancement was evident only in the early contact times and did not impact the equilibrium capacity of the sorbent. No enhancement was seen when the sorption test was conducted under a homogeneous magnetic field. Further studies are needed to determine if the enhancement is also seen with other cations and/or anions.
