Mechanism of hexavalent chromium removal (Cr(VI) as CrO) by the weak-base ion exchange (IX) resin ResinTech® SIR-700-HP (SIR-700) from simulated groundwater is assessed in the presence of radioactive contaminants iodine-129 (as IO), uranium (U as uranyl UO), and technetium-99 (as TcO), and common environmental anions sulfate (SO) and chloride (Cl). Batch tests using the acid sulfate form of SIR-700 demonstrated Cr(VI) and U(VI) removal exceeded 97%, except in the presence of high SO concentrations (536 mg/L) where Cr(VI) and U(VI) removal decreased to ≥ 80%. However, Cr(VI) removal notably improved with co-mingled U(VI) that complexes with SO at the protonated amine sites.
