Concentration of Bromide Ions in Seawater by Isotopic Exchange

Abstract

A study was conducted to determine the feasibility of concentrating radioactive bromide ions in seawater by passing the seawater through a column of silver bromide. The radioactive bromide ions in the seawater are isotopically exchanged with the bromide ions in the silver bromide. The effect of column height, flow-rate, volume and/or residence time of seawater on the amount of bromine exchange was studied and each of these variables was found to have a significant effect.
