Abstract
This study applied radiation-induced polymerization to synthesize cetrimonium bromide-functionalized polyvinyl cyanide (CBFPVC). This polymeric material was utilized as an adsorbent for 152+154Eu(III)-citrate anionic complexes from aqueous solutions. The effects of various parameters such as sample mass, equilibrium time, solution pH, and the citrate-to-Eu(III) ratio were studied under static conditions. The synthesized sorbent effectively removed the investigated Eu(III)-citrate chelates from their aqueous solutions with only few minutes needed to attain equilibrium. At [citrate]/[Eu(III)] molar ratio of 2:1, 90 % of the Eu(III)-citrate was sorbed onto CBFPVC at pH 10 in the first hour of contact. The sorption data is best with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating chemisorption. The experimental sorption equilibrium data were analyzed using a variety of isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich), and the first one exhibited the best alignment. The calculation of thermodynamic parameters (ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS°) indicates that the sorption process was endothermic, favorable, and spontaneous. Several desorbing agents were used to study the desorption of Eu(III)-citrate from the loaded sample and Na2SO4 solution produced the highest recovery.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
