γ-Radiation Effects on the Nuclear Grade Ion Exchanger Resin—Indion-223

Abstract

A gel type polystyrene sulphonic acid resin Indion-223 of nuclear grade
was irradiated up to dose 12MGy  in Li⁺,  Cr³⁺ and Fe³⁺ cationic forms
using ⁶⁰Co source and the chemical yields as the result of radiolytic
degradation are calculated. The capacity of the resin decreases due to
irradiation pH values and hence the H₂son yield as milliequivalent and
concentration of cations increases as the  γ-dose.
