Separation of cesium from simulated active waste using zinc hexacyanoferrate supported composite

  • 1. Hot laboratory Center, Atomic Energy Authority Authority, Cairo (Egypt)

Description

Potassium zinc hexacyanoferrate (KZnHCF) was prepared and supported on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) binding polymer. This composite was characterized and used to study the elimination of cesium from acidic radioactive waste containing Sr(II), Eu(II), Am(II), Zr(IV), Hf(IV) and Nb(V) using batch and column techniques. The sorption capacity of this composite for cesium was found to be 1.14 meq/g for column technique. The effect of presence of NH4SCN, NaNo3 and other complexing agents in the aqueous solutions was studied
