Patent ID: 8828532

Claim:
A polymer composite for extracting active and non-active Cesium from high level acidic radioactive nuclear waste and/or other inorganic wastes/solutions comprising 10-40% by weight of a polymer and 60-90% by weight of Ammonium molybdophosphate (AMP) based on the weight of the polymer composite, wherein the polymer comprises polysulfone, derivatives of polysulfone, or a combination thereof, wherein the polymer composite comprises an inner porous structure and an outer structured layer having surface pores, wherein the polymer composite has a void volume of 15 to 70% and a skeleton density of 1.1 to 1.6 gm/cc adapted for equilibrium time of 30-100 minutes and a Cesium ion exchange capacity of 0.4-1.0 meq/gm.
