AI Technical Summary
Existing ion exchangers are not effective at selectively enriching and separating Cs+ under conditions of high acidity, high salt content, and coexistence of multiple radioactive isotopes. They are also susceptible to the effects of radioactive irradiation and heat release, leading to material deactivation and decomposition.
An inorganic layered Na-SbS ion exchanger with elliptical pores was synthesized using a mixed template agent-induced method. Activation with hydrated Na+ ions provided highly selective adsorption sites. A mass-producible Na-SbS ion exchanger was prepared using a mixed template of ammonium/organic amine/water molecules.
It exhibits high selective enrichment of Cs+ in highly acidic media, with a removal rate of up to 94%, minimal impact on coexisting ions, and possesses rapid adsorption kinetics and radiation resistance, making it suitable for the treatment of both acidic and alkaline radioactive waste.

Background technology:
[0002] Enrichment and recovery of fission isotopes produced by nuclear cycles 137 Cs(t 1 / 2 =30.2 years) Not only is it beneficial for the safe handling and disposal of high-level radioactive waste liquids and the promotion of sustainable development of nuclear energy, but more importantly, it can turn waste into treasure and realize the comprehensive utilization value of isotopes. On the one hand, 137 Cs is present in relatively high concentrations in high-level radioactive waste (approximately 0.03-0.04 mol / L). -1 ), often in Cs + It exists in a form that is highly mobile, and its decay process can release a large amount of radiation (E). γ =661keV) and heat, making deep geological burial processes require larger geological treatment spaces. 137 Separating Cs can effectively reduce the heat release of high-level radioactive waste, increase the capacity of disposal facilities, and eliminate safety hazards during long-term storage (Energies, 2019, 12, 596-618). On the other hand, a sudden nuclear accident could release a large amount of radioactive material. 137 The leakage of Cs isotopes led to their significant accumulation in plants and animals in the surrounding area (Transactions of the Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering, 2020, 36, 221-227; Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistry, 2015, 37, 341-354). 137 Cs can be transferred through the food chain and accumulate in the human body, causing cell / soft tissue damage or death, and inducing vomiting or other mental disorders (J. Environ. Chem. Eng., 2018, 6, 5845-5854). Through rapid capture... 137 Using Cs to block its spread is beneficial to improving the effectiveness of nuclear pollution control and effectively protecting environmental safety and public health. (Extracted) 137 After purification, Cs can be used to prepare lightweight, reliable, and durable nuclear batteries, which are widely applicable to instruments and equipment that require long-term power supply (such as communication satellites, spacecraft, submarines, etc.) and have important value in national defense science and technology and people's livelihood economy (Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistry, 2019, 41, 27-39). 137Cs can also be used to create gamma radiation sources for numerous technological and medical applications, including thickness measurement, nuclear radiation weighing, irradiation breeding, instrument sterilization, and cancer treatment (Open Geosciences, 2020, 12, 11-24; Sci. Total Environ., 2019, 651, 250-260; J. Radiat. Res. Appl. Sci. 2015, 8, 477-482). Therefore, selective extraction of fission isotopes... 137 Cs is a crucial component for the efficient recovery of useful substances and the realization of closed-loop recycling of waste liquid.

However, apart from 137 Cs + In addition, high-level radioactive waste and nuclear-contaminated water usually contain large amounts of other ions, which can... 137 Cs + The enrichment of these ions creates competition or interference, which brings many difficulties to the purification of nuclides. These ions mainly include the following three categories: (1) Hundreds of radioactive isotopes produced by reactor operation, such as representative fission products. 90 Sr、 99 Tc (Coord. Chem.

C, 2017, 121, 10594-10608; Molecules, 2023, 28, 1935); (3) High-level radioactive waste liquid generated from spent fuel reprocessing also contains high concentrations of H2. +(Nat. Commun., 2022, 13, 658; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2017, 139, 16494-16497). High-energy irradiation and heat release from radioactive nuclides can damage the structure of organic ion exchange resins, leading to material deactivation and decomposition (Chem. Sci., 2016, 7, 4804-4824). In contrast, although inorganic ion exchangers such as zeolites, clays, and titaniasilicates have better heat and radiation resistance, their Cs... + However, the exchange performance is easily affected by the salinity and acidity of the environment, leading to material deactivation, deterioration, pulverization, or even dissolution (Solvent Extr.

The initial and post-reaction solutions were then filtered, diluted, and Cs were determined by ICP-MS. + The concentration of ions. For example... Figure 13 As shown, Na-SbS affects Cs in the pH range of 1-12. + All ions exhibit good adsorption activity, with partition coefficients R0 at pH 2-12. Cs It can reach 98.16%-99.73%; at pH=1, R Cs It can also reach 91.90%.
[0127] like Figure 14 As shown, Na-SbS reacts with Cs in a 1M nitric acid solution. + The removal rate can reach 55.97%; when the nitric acid concentration increases to 2M, 3M, and 3.5M, Cs + The removal rates of Na-SbS for Cs were 33.42%, 22.32%, and 15.14%, respectively. + The removal rate of Cs decreases further with increasing nitric acid concentration; when the concentration increases to 4.5M, the removal rate further decreases. + The removal rate decreased to 3.92%.

[0128] In addition, the solutions after adsorption reactions under different acid and alkaline conditions were filtered, diluted, and then the concentration of Sb was determined by ICP-MS to assess the chemical stability of the Na-SbS exchanger. Figure 15 As shown, the Sb concentration of the Na-SbS ion exchanger was 12.42, 15.37, and 7.32 ppm at pH = 12, pH = 9, and pH = 6, respectively. With increasing solution acidity, the amount of Sb precipitated gradually decreased, ranging from 0.79 to 3.21 ppm in the range of pH = 3 to 3.5M nitric acid solution, accounting for only 0.12-0.50% of the Sb composition in the added Na-SbS ion exchanger. However, when the nitric acid concentration increased to above 4M, the amount of Sb precipitated gradually increased, and Na-SbS gradually dissolved. This indicates that the Na-SbS ion exchanger has excellent acid resistance and can withstand the corrosion of 3.5M concentrated nitric acid.

However, when the solution acidity is further increased to pH 1 up to 3.5M nitric acid solution, the peak intensity of the XRD pattern decreases, indicating that the Na-SbS ion exchanger transforms into a solid acid form. This demonstrates that the Na-SbS ion exchanger exhibits good structural stability in different acidic and alkaline environments.
