Abstract
The adsorption-exchange equilibrium time and the adsorption isotherms of UO2 2+,137Cs,169Yb and HPO4 2− on modified peat have been investigated by batch experiments. The effect of pH on the adsorption-exchange percentage (E) and the distribution coefficients (K d) was also examined. It was found that the adsorption-exchange of UO2 2+ and169Yb on the modified peat was described well by Freundlich isotherm, whereas the adsorption-exchange of137Cs and HPO4 2− on modified peat corresponded to a Langmuir isotherm and the maximum adsorption capacities of the modified peat for137Cs and HPO4 2− ions were 4.4 and 4.1 μg/g respectively. The optimum pH for the adsorption-exchange of UO2 2+,137Cs,169Yb and HPO4 2− on the modified peat was 7.0 at 25°C.
Abstract
Our previous paper reported the effect of acidity and temperature on uranous-uranil isotope exchange reaction in sulphuric acid solution.1 It was found that the half-life of the isotope reactiont 1/2 is around 10 seconds, when the acidity and the temperature of the reaction system are reasonably selected. However, when the uranium isotopes are enriched by ion exchange the single separation factor could be 1.001. Thus, the half-life,t 1/2 is less than one second for potential industrial application.
