Abstract

The paper investigates sorption removal of 90Sr from water media by the tobacco ore of the Kerch iron-ore basin. It has been found that effective sorption is observed within the pH interval 6–9, the limit value of adsorption of strontium ions calculate by means of the Langmuir equation constitutes 17.95 mg/g. It is shown that sorbent efficiency for the removal of 90Sr from water is determined, in the first place, by their salt composition—nature of macrocomponents characteristic for water media (Na+, K+ and Ca2+) and their concentration.
