| Applies when | uranium, uranium removal, radionuclide, groundwater treatment, ion exchange, uranyl |
|---|---|
| Avoid | cation, softening resin (Ion Exchange Resin) |
| Recommend instead | ResinTech SBG2-HP (Ion Exchange Resin) |
| Rationale | Uranium in groundwater at typical pH exists as an anionic uranyl-carbonate complex, so a strong-base Type 2 anion resin (Cl- form) removes it -- a cation softening resin targets a different failure mode (hardness) and would not remove uranium. Twin-vessel progressive (lead/lag) configuration, not parallel, maximizes time-to-breakthrough for a regulated contaminant target. |
