Abstract

Zirconium molybdate ion exchanger prepared from equimolar amounts of sodium molybdate and zirconyl chloride was used as an effective sorbent for the absorption of some radionuclides from their aqueous solutions. The zirconium molybdate sorbent was characterized by IR spectra and X-ray diffraction. The adsorption behavior of zirconium molybdate toward Cs(I) (134Cs), Co(II) (60Co), Zn(II) (65Zn), and Eu(III) (152, 154Eu) ions in aqueous solutions was studied in relation to the contact time, composition of aqueous solutions, and temperature. The separation factors of the radionuclides in sorption on zirconium molybdate were determined. The efficiency of the recovery and separation of the radionuclides on zirconium molybdate was assessed.
