Description

Immobilization behaviour of barium, cadmium and antimony cations over Sn(IV) oxide and Ce(IV) oxide has been studied. High uptake for sup(135)Sb and an appreciable uptake for sup(141)Ba and sup(115)Cd is observed with both the oxides weighable quantities of Ba, Cd and Sb cations have been separately coprecipitated along with Sn(IV) and Ce(IV) hydroxides, the extent of adsorptions is found to be appreciable. After calcining the mixed mass at 1000 deg C for 20 hr soxhlet leach tests in deionized water at 97 deg C for 24 hr, repeated 7 times at an interval of one day, show low order of leachabilities for each of the cations. X-ray diffraction pattern of Sn(IV) oxide and Ce(IV) oxide contain the main reflections corresponding to the minerals cassiterite and cerianite respectively, which suffer some structural changes after adsorption of cations.
