This invention provides a one-step in-situ preparation method for high-performance oatmeal-like composite adsorbent materials, along with its application, belonging to the field of liquid
resource development and rare
metal recovery technology. The preparation method includes the following steps: dissolving
ferrous cyanide and
sodium alginate in water to obtain solution A; dissolving a
metal salt in water to obtain solution B; adding solution A dropwise to solution B to initiate a cross-linking reaction and then separating and washing to obtain the oatmeal-like composite adsorbent material. This invention also provides an application of the oatmeal-like composite adsorbent material in the separation and enrichment of cesium in radioactive
wastewater. The preparation method of this invention greatly simplifies the process flow, avoiding the technical difficulties of complex preparation processes, easy
powder agglomeration, and cumbersome composite processes inherent in traditional
powder adsorbents. Furthermore, the prepared composite adsorbent material exhibits high adsorption capacity, adsorption rate, and cycle stability, making it easy to achieve continuous industrial operation.
