The potential uses of hydrous oxides in the treatment of radioactive wastes may be affected by the physical-chemical properties of these materials. The sorption behavior of trace level (less than 10-14 g/ml) 235U fission products in aqueous solutions was studied under static conditions on TiO2, MnO2 and SnO sorbents. A variety of anions, cations and neutral species of 132Te,95Zr, 99Mo and 103Ru in aqueous solutions at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 pH values were identified and their retention values were calculated. High voltage electrophoresis was used to establish the chemical species of these radioisotopes formed in the solution.
