Description:
Amorphous zirconium vanadate samples with different molar ratios have been prepared under optimum conditions. The experimental parameters such as the order of mixing and mixing ratios were established. The ion-exchange powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and differential thermal analysis. The materials are thermally and chemically stable. The sorption behavior of Cs + , Co 2+ , and Ce 4+ radionuclides was studied at varied values of Zr: V molar ratio, pH, and temperature. The thermodynamic equilibrium constants and the values of Δ G 0 , Δ H 0 , and Δ S 0 for the exchange of Cs + , Co 2+ and Ce 4+ radionuclides at Zr: V = 1: 6 were calculated from the exchange isotherms. At Zr: V = 1: 6, the capability of the material to sorb Cs + , Co 2+ , and Ce 4+ ions is the highest. The process kinetics can be descirbed by first- or second-order equations.
