Abstract:
The competitive adsorption properties of mineral materials were studied by employing the discontinuous process in the same molar concentration Sr
2+ and Cs
+ solutions, and then mineral materials adsorbing Sr
2+ and Cs
+ were characterized and analyzed by using XRD. The experiment results demonstrate that the equilibrium adsorption time of NF, ZF and CA to Sr
2+ and Cs
+ is about 7 d, 3 d and 14 d, respectively. The adsorptive quantity of ZF to Sr
2+ and Cs
+ is the greatest, that of NF the second, and that of CA the third. The adsorption of NF to Cs
+ is the most obviously selective, the selectiveness of CA is comparatively worse, and that of ZF is the worst. The removal efficiency of Sr
2+ by ZF is about 100%, the removal efficiency of Cs
+ by ZF reaches 72%; the removal efficiency of Cs
+ by NF is 66%, but that of Sr
2+ by NF is only 15%; the removal efficiency of CA to Sr
2+ comes to 29%, while that of Cs
+ is only 16%. The crystal unit cell volumes of the mineral materials as well as their crystal unit cell parameters
c become smaller after adsorbing Sr
2+ and Cs
+, but other crystal unit cell parameters
a, b, and
β change irregularly.
