Cesium (Cs) removal from contaminated water bodies is an emerging issue after the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The Prussian blue (PB) is an effective Cs adsorbent but will release hexacyanoferrate fragments from the adsorbent matrix during adsorption. Alginate is an affordable biopolymer for PB particles immobilization. This study synthesized poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and alginate cross-linked matrix for immobilization of PB nano-sized particles and a surface-modified styrene-ethyl styrene divinyl benzene resin and tested their swelling stability and Cs adsorption performance in fresh water and in seawater. The PVA-alginate granules have high structural stability in both fresh water and seawater, with the Cs adsorption capability higher for the former than the latter. The adopted resin effectively remove released PB fragments from the tested granules. The transport and reaction parameters for the granules and for the sand filter bed were estimated.
福岛第一核电站灾难后,从受污染水体中去除铯成为一个新出现的问题。普鲁士蓝(PB)是一种有效的 Cs 吸附剂,但在吸附过程中会从吸附剂基质中释放出六氰合铁酸盐碎片。海藻酸钠是 PB 颗粒固定化的一种经济实惠的生物聚合物。本研究合成了聚乙烯醇(PVA)和海藻酸钠交联基质,用于固定化 PB 纳米颗粒,并测试了它们在淡水和海水中的溶胀稳定性和 Cs 吸附性能。PVA-海藻酸钠颗粒在淡水和海水中均具有较高的结构稳定性,前者对 Cs 的吸附能力高于后者。所采用的树脂能有效地从所测试的颗粒中去除释放的 PB 碎片。对颗粒和砂滤床的传输和反应参数进行了估计。
