Sorption of Caesium on Commercial Magnetite with low Silica Content: Experimental and Modelling

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

Interaction of Cs on commercial magnetite has been studied under different experimental conditions at high solid/liquid ratios. At pH 8.2 the Freundlich isotherm was able to describe an important range of the experimental data and at high Cs concentration surface precipitation was found likely to occur. Special attention has been given to silica, present in the system as an impurity of magnetite, since it plays an important role on the sorption mechanism in which a ternary complex magnetite-Si-Cs is formed.
