Abstract

The paper investigates the physicochemical regularities (kinetics and isotherm) of phosphorus and beryllium recovery by sorbents based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber and Fe(OH)3 obtained by various methods: PAN or pre-hydrolyzed PAN with precipitation of FeCl3 with ammonia, using ready-made or electrochemically generated Na2FeO4, pre-hydrolyzed PAN treated with an alkaline solution of Na2FeO4, as well as their comparison with granular aluminum oxide. The Langmuir, Freudlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich models show high performance of materials for sorption of stable P and Be used as tracers for the release of 7Be, 32P, and 33P from seawater. The obtained kinetic data are processed using kinetic models of intraparticle diffusion and the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich models. Optimal conditions for obtaining sorbents are established, namely, the effect of NaOH concentration at the stages of preparation on the properties of sorbents based on the PAN fiber and Fe(OH)3 obtained by various methods.
