Description

Prussian blue (PB) and copper ferrocyanide (CF) were synthesized and characterized by XRD, SEM, XPS and N2-BET. The basic adsorption behavior of caesium (Cs) onto these adsorbents were investigated. The adsorption isotherms was fitted by both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations (particularly fitted to Langmuir equation for CF). The maximum adsorption capacity based on Langmuir equation was determined to be 296 mg/g for PB and 409 mg/g for CF. Moreover, to evaluate the efficiency of SiO2 carried CF (CF-SiO2) as novel adsorbent for Cs, the effect of interfering cations on the adsorption capacity of Cs+ was investigated in the presence of several competitive cations (i.e., Na+, K+, Mg2+) as well as PB and CF. In the present study, this adsorbent was tentatively applied to the removal of radioactive caesium (137Cs). The adsorbent synthesized in this work can be an efficient adsorbent for Cs+. (author)

Abstract (Japanese)

プルシアンブルー(PB)とフェロシアン化銅(CF)を合成し,XRD, SEM, XPS, N2-BET を用いて特性評価を行った。これらの粉末による Cs 吸着性能の基礎的特性を探究したところ,Langmuir とFreundlich 双方の吸着等温式に適合し,Langmuir 吸着等温式による最大吸着量は PB が296 mg/g, CFが409 mg/g であった。さらに新規吸着剤として CF を担持した SiO2(CF-SiO2)の Cs 吸着における有用性を検証するため,PB, CF 粉末試料と同様に阻害カチオン(Na+, K+, Mg2+)による Cs+吸着への影響も検証した。本研究で作成した吸着剤は,放射性セシウム(137Cs)除去に対して有用であると示唆された。(著者)
