Abstract
IN the past few years several methods have been proposed for the removal of radiostrontium from milk. Among the most elaborate methods is a procedure worked out by Migicovsky1and further improved by L. F. Emondson et al.2. This method is based on an ion-exchange process using a bed of resin charged with a mixed solution of calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium ions. In pilot plant experiments this process has proved able to remove about 90 per cent of the radiostrontium present in milk.
