Abstract
The ability of synthetic nanostructured potassium aluminosilicate (PAS) KAlSi3O8·1.5H2O with the specific surface area of 105 ± 5 m2 g−1 to take up cesium ions was studied. The maximal sorption capacity of PAS in sorption of Cs+ ions from cesium carbonate solutions containing no other salts is ∼3.7 mmol g−1. In Cs+ sorption from solutions containing no other salts, the sorption capacity is the lowest at pH 1; it increases with pH, reaching a maximum at pH 10.8. The effect of salt background (various concentrations and ratios of KCl and NaCl) on the sorption properties of PAS was examined. The sorption capacity decreases to the greatest extent (to 0.25 mmol g−1) in solutions containing the K+ and Na+ ions simultaneously at concentrations of 68 and 517 mM, respectively. The dependence of the cesium sorption on the concentration of nitrates (NaNO3, KNO3, NH4NO3) and the kinetics of the cesium sorption from aqueous NaNO3 solution were studied with the 137Cs tracer. The highest distribution coefficients (up to 12000 mL g−1) are observed in 137Cs sorption from NaNO3 solutions. The degree of the 137Cs sorption reaches a maximum (92 ± 4%) in sorption from 0.01 M NaNO3 solutions at the sorption time of 4 h.
