Abstract
The sorption of 109Cd and 65Zn microquantities with NaX and NaA zeolites in the presence of divalent lanthanides (Ln2+) (Ln=Tm, Dy, and Nd) from tetrahydrofuran (THF) solutions was studied. It was found that in contrast to 137Cs+, 109Cd and 65Zn, as well as 85Sr2+ microquantities were sorbed by zeolites very poorly: ∼99% of the species remained in solution. The distribution coefficients (K d ) of 109Cd and 65Zn were ∼0.3 and ∼0.4 ml/g, respectively. When Tm2+ was used as a reducer, it partially oxidized in solution to Tm3+ to form precipitates of the composition TmI3·3THF. A study of the co-crystallization of 109Cd and 65Zn, as well as 85Sr2+ microquantities with the TmI3·3THF solid phase in the presence of Tm2+ from THF solutions showed that in contrast to 85Sr2+, 109Cd and 65Zn microquantities co-crystallized with the TmI3·3THF solid phase. The co-crystallization coefficients (D) for 109Cd and 65Zn depended on the ratio Tm3+/Tm2+ in solution and increased with its increasing. The assumption was made that in the presence of Tm2+, 109Cd2+ and 65Zn2+ form M+ ions, which quickly react with M2+ ions to form dimers of the composition M2 3+ (M=Cd and Zn).
