Abstract
90Sr, a radioactive fission product in high-level liquid waste (HLLW), poses long-term environmental risks due to potential waterborne dispersion. A bismuth-doped Sb2O5 material (BiSb-0.1) was synthesized in this work to effectively remove strontium from simulated high-level liquid waste (HLLW). The maximum adsorption capacity attained 51.69 mg/g for Sr2+ in a 0.1 mol/L HNO3 solution. The adsorption data were well-fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm model. According to the thermodynamic parameters, the Sr2+ adsorption procedures are endothermic. Additionally, BiSb-0.1 demonstrated notable stability against γ-irradiation. Various characterization methods and DFT calculations have proved that the mechanism of Sr2+ adsorption is the exchange between Sr2+ and H+ in Sb−OH and the coordination between O atom and Sr2+.
