Abstract

In this study, cellulose-inorganic sorbents based on bleached cotton fibres and ferrocyanides of different d-metals have been prepared and used for separation of 137Cs from simulated aqueous solutions. Comparative analysis has been carried out of the sorption properties of obtained sorption materials towards to micro- and macroquantities of caesium at different liquid to solid phases ratios. Various characterization methods including X-ray analysis, IR spectroscopy, and differential thermal analysis were used to determine the structural properties of the obtained composite sorbents. It has been confirmed that the sorbents obtained at approximately the same content of the inorganic component are characterized by different values of the recovery rate and 137Cs distribution coefficient.
