Abstract

The removal behavior of stannic and zirconium phosphates was assessed for Sr(II) ions as a function of sorptive concentration, temperature and pH. It was observed that an increase of these parameters enhanced the removal of Sr(II) ions from aqueous solutions. First order uptake of Sr(II) followed the Freundlich adsorption isotherm for the entire range of sorptive concentration (10-2 to 10-8 mol.dm-3). The study of temperature dependence showed that the endothermic and irreversible type of uptake proceeds by an ion-exchange type mechanism.
