Abstract
Dry Cowdung Powder (DCP) – a green biosorbent, has been demonstrated for Cs(I) removal from aqueous media using radiotracer technique. 100 mesh DCP was added to Cs(I) carrier solution spiked with radioactive Cs-137. Parameters like pH, biosorbent dose, agitation speed, contact time, temperature and Cs(I) ion concentration were optimized. Industrial effluents or other polluted water bodies contain different salts in varying proportions. To analyse the effect of these salts on adsorption of Cs(I), various sodium, potassium and ammonium salts were used. DCP characteristics pre and post biosorption of Cs(I) was analysed with EDAX spectra. The investigation reports a successful Cs(I) metal removal by following the principles of green chemistry.
