摘要
The present work demonstrates a comprehensive study for efficiently removing some hazardous radionuclides from liquid radioactive waste using zirconium titanium vanadium phosphate/alginate (ZrTiVPO4/Alg) composite. A composite material of (ZrTiVPO4/Alg) was synthesized by the sol-gel technique and subsequently examined utilizing FT-IR, SEM, XRD, EDX, BET surface area, and TGA analyses. (ZrTiVPO4/Alg) composite beads were tested for sorption of Eu152+154, Ba-133, and Cs-134 from radioactive liquid waste. Various parameters influencing the sorption of Eu152+154, Ba-133, and Cs-134 have been investigated, such as the contact time, pH value, temperature, and initial concentration. The highest percent removal was achieved at pH 4 for Eu152+154 and pH 6 for Ba-133, and Cs-134. The equilibrium time for the sorption process was attained at 90 min. An investigation was conducted on the isotherms and kinetics of ZrTiVPO4/Alg sorption of Eu152+154, Ba-133, and Cs-134. The Freundlich isotherm model provides a better fit (R-2 = 0.988) than the Langmuir model (R-2 = 0.967), suggesting a multilayer adsorption process on the ZrTiVPO4/Alg composite surface with a maximum adsorption capacity (Q(max)) 30.3, 29.4, and 21.6 mg/g for Eu152+154, Ba-133, and Cs-134 respectively. Moreover, the adsorption kinetics studies indicate that the process follows the pseudo-second-order model. Finally, a chromatographic column study has been carried out to confirm the findings obtained from the batch experiments. The column analysis revealed that the breakthrough capacities for Eu152+154, Ba-133, and Cs-134 are as follows: 23, 19, and 12 mg/g, respectively.
