Calcium alginate (CA) hydrogel beads were prepared and used for the separation of 152Eu from trace and macro amounts of cesium. Best separation was achieved from 10−2 M HNO3, upon shaking 30 CA beads with the solution containing 152Eu and Cs for 20 min and then allowing a settle for further 10 min. Back extraction of europium without any contamination of Cs was successfully obtained after treating the 152Eu adsorbed CA beads with 0.1 M HNO3 and 1 M HNO3 solutions.
