Breakthrough of cerium during the loading and washing on hydrated MnO2 column from hydrogen-carbonate/carbonate containing solution: HC/C, ratio: 95/5, total molarity: 1 M, cerium-concentration: 1 mg/L, U-concentration: 35 g/L, column inner diameter: 9.7 mm, bed volume: 5.5 mL, adsorber weight: 5.5 g MnO2, and loading speed: 30 cv/h. Ce-141 was added to the loading solution as a radioactive indicator.
