Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Materials Science
  • Radiochemistry

Background:

  • Radioisotope leakage from nuclear waste poses significant environmental risks due to gamma radiation and water solubility.
  • Cesium (Cs+) contamination in water is a persistent challenge requiring effective remediation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel porous composite sphere for the efficient removal of cesium from contaminated water.
  • To evaluate the adsorption capacity, efficiency, stability, and selectivity of the developed material.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a porous ZnFC-PA/PSF composite sphere by immobilizing ferrocyanides modified zinc phytate into a polysulfone (PSF) substrate.
  • Testing the adsorption performance, including capacity, removal efficiency, and selectivity, in batch and fixed-bed systems.
  • Analyzing the stability and dissolution of metal ions from the composite material.

Main Results:

  • The ZnFC-PA/PSF composite sphere exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 305.38 mg/g for Cs+.
  • A removal efficiency of 94.27% was achieved within 2 hours, with high selectivity (Kd = 2.24×10^4 mL/g).
  • The material demonstrated excellent stability with minimal metal ion dissolution (< 2%) and effective performance in fixed-bed adsorption (E = 91.92%).

Conclusions:

  • The novel ZnFC-PA/PSF composite sphere is a highly effective and stable adsorbent for cesium removal from contaminated water.
  • The ion-exchange mechanism involving Cs+ and K+ contributes to the adsorption process.
  • The material shows significant potential for practical application in treating hazardous cesium-contaminated wastewater.
