Abstract

(PDF) Graphical Abstract: Composite lignocellulose-inorganic sorbents derived from plant residues of agriculture and food industry, modified with ferrocyanides of d-metals and hydrated antimony pentoxide were prepared. Caesium and strontium ions removal from water was tested by radiotracer method. Sorption of heavy metal ions, methylene blue, gelatin, vitamin B12 was also studied.

Highlights

  • Radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr are characterized by a long half-life of about 30 and 29 years, respectively, by the high toxicity and migration capability; due to high solubility, radionuclides can migrate into the environment and can be absorbed by living organisms [1,2]

  • This study is devoted to the preparation of composite LC-inorganic sorbents derived from vegetal residues of agriculture and food industry, modified with [FC]M and hydrated antimony pentoxide (HAP), and investigation of their structural properties using physical and chemical methods and sorption ability towards toxicants

  • The main idea of using lignocellulose material as a carrier of [FC]M and HAP was to combine the properties of both modifiers and plant material to achieve high radionuclides and other inorganic and organic substances sorption

Summary

Introduction

Radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr are characterized by a long half-life of about 30 and 29 years, respectively, by the high toxicity and migration capability; due to high solubility, radionuclides can migrate into the environment and can be absorbed by living organisms [1,2]. This study is devoted to the preparation of composite LC-inorganic sorbents derived from vegetal residues of agriculture and food industry, modified with [FC]M and HAP, and investigation of their structural properties using physical and chemical methods and sorption ability towards toxicants. The main idea of using lignocellulose material as a carrier of [FC]M and HAP was to combine the properties of both modifiers and plant material to achieve high radionuclides and other inorganic and organic substances sorption.
