Abstract

A number of optimal parameters determining the efficiency and rate of the strontium removal by a granular sorbent synthesized by the interaction of KMnO4 and concentrated H2O2 solution have been determined. The optimal drying temperature was found to be 400 °C at an average grain size of 0.1–0.2 mm. The average value of the strontium distribution coefficient in seawater equaled to 1.4–1.5 × 103 mL/g at the V/m ratio of 1000 mL/g ratio. The maximum value of adsorption in a single-component solution calculated using the Langmuir equation was equal to 1.0–1.1 mmol/g and corresponded to total dynamic exchange capacity. As the number of sorption-desorption cycles increased, total dynamic exchange capacity gradually decreased. The efficiency of Sr-90 removal from real liquid radioactive waste streams has been evaluated.

Synthesis of the materials and investigations of their sorption properties were carried out under the partial financial support from Russian Foundation for Basic Research (Project No. 18-03-00407). In addition, developing the methods of analytical determination of precise radionuclide quantities in the solutions after selective sorption and in the bulk of the sorption matrices was partially supported within the frames of the State Order of the Institute of Chemistry of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Project No. 0205-2019-0005). Equipment Far Eastern Center of Structural Investigations was used in the present work. SEM studies were performed with the support of the Far Eastern Center for Electron Microscopy located in the Zhirmunsky National Scientific Center of Marine Biology of the Far Eastern branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Vladivostok, Russia).
