Description

本発明は、セシウムイオンを吸着する吸着剤に関する。   The present invention relates to an adsorbent that adsorbs cesium ions.

原子力発電所の事故等が発生すると、高濃度の放射性物質(主に放射性セシウム)を含む原子炉汚染水が施設外に漏出したり、放射性物質が河川・海水・地下水あるいは大気中などへ拡散することにより、周辺環境に放射性物質で汚染された水・土壌・草木類等が大量に生じる恐れがある。また、これら放射能汚染物が雨水等により下水道に流入すると、放射性物質により汚染された下水汚泥、あるいはその下水汚泥を焼却減容化することで放射性物質が濃縮された焼却灰が生じる。さらに、放射性物質で汚染された草木類や塵芥などの可燃性廃棄物がゴミ焼却場などで焼却減容化されると、放射性物質が濃縮されたゴミ焼却灰が生じる。
放射能汚染物は人体に有害な放射線(ガンマ線など)を放出するため、これらの放射能汚染物に対しては適切に除去・保管等の処置を行い、放射線被爆による健康被害を防ぐ必要がある。特に汚染規模が大きく、広い地域に大量の放射能汚染物が発生した場合には、放射能汚染物の除染処理(放射能汚染物からの放射性物質の除去処理、放射能汚染物の保管など)に膨大な手間と時間と費用が必要になるため、放射能汚染物からの放射性物質の除去処理(セシウムイオンの吸着除去)、あるいは、保管時の放射性物質の拡散防止(雨水等によるセシウムイオンの拡散防止)を効率的かつ経済的に行うことができる技術が求められていた。
When a nuclear power plant accident occurs, reactor contaminated water containing high-concentration radioactive materials (mainly radioactive cesium) leaks out of the facility, or radioactive materials diffuse into rivers, seawater, groundwater, or the atmosphere. As a result, there is a risk that a large amount of water, soil, vegetation, etc. contaminated with radioactive materials may be generated in the surrounding environment. Moreover, when these radioactive contaminants flow into sewers by rainwater or the like, sewage sludge contaminated with radioactive substances, or incinerated ash enriched with radioactive substances by incineration and volume reduction of the sewage sludge is generated. Further, when combustible waste such as vegetation and dust contaminated with radioactive material is incinerated and reduced in a garbage incineration site, waste incinerated ash enriched with radioactive material is generated.
Radioactive contaminants emit radiation (gamma rays, etc.) that is harmful to the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately remove and store these radioactive contaminants to prevent health damage from radiation exposure. . In particular, when the scale of contamination is large and a large amount of radioactive contaminants are generated in a wide area, decontamination of radioactive contaminants (removal of radioactive contaminants from radioactive contaminants, storage of radioactive contaminants, etc.) ) Requires enormous effort, time and money, so removal of radioactive materials from radioactive contaminants (adsorption removal of cesium ions) or prevention of diffusion of radioactive materials during storage (cesium ions due to rainwater, etc.) Therefore, there is a need for a technology that can efficiently and economically prevent the diffusion of

従来、セシウムイオンの除去方法としては、例えば、ウラン水溶液中のセシウムイオンをゼオライトで吸着分離する方法(特許文献1)、ヘキサシアノ鉄でセシウムイオンを吸着分離する方法(特許文献2)、脱窒菌又はセシウム蓄積菌でセシウムイオンを吸着除去する方法(特許文献3)等が報告されている。また、ゼオライトについては、フライアッシュや鋳物廃砂を原料として合成ゼオライトを製造する方法(特許文献4、5)等が報告されている。また、放射能汚染物保管時の放射性物質の拡散防止方法として、ゼオライトを含む核種吸着セメント組成物で放射能汚染物を固化して放射性物質の拡散を防止する方法(特許文献6)等が報告されている。   Conventionally, as a method for removing cesium ions, for example, a method of adsorbing and separating cesium ions in a uranium aqueous solution with zeolite (Patent Document 1), a method of adsorbing and separating cesium ions with hexacyanoiron (Patent Document 2), denitrifying bacteria, or A method of adsorbing and removing cesium ions with cesium-accumulating bacteria (Patent Document 3) has been reported. Moreover, about zeolite, the method (patent documents 4, 5) etc. which manufacture a synthetic zeolite from fly ash and casting waste sand as a raw material are reported. Further, as a method for preventing the diffusion of radioactive substances during storage of radioactive contaminants, a method for preventing the diffusion of radioactive substances by solidifying radioactive contaminants with a radionuclide adsorbing cement composition containing zeolite (Patent Document 6), etc. has been reported. Has been.

しかしながら、これら従来の技術では、セシウムイオンの吸着除去性能が低い、高価なセシウム吸着剤を使用する必要がある、廃棄物原料を使用した吸着剤(合成ゼオライト)であるが水熱合成に手間と時間がかかるため製造コストが高くなる、放射性物質の拡散を防止するための放射能汚染物の固化処理に手間がかかる等の問題があり、大量の放射能汚染物を効率的かつ経済的に処理・保管するための技術としては不十分であった。
従って、本発明の課題は、セシウムイオンに対する吸着性能が高く、低コストで簡便に製造することができ、セシウムイオンの除去処理やセシウムイオンの拡散防止を効率的かつ経済性に行うことを可能にするセシウム吸着剤を提供することにある。
However, in these conventional techniques, it is necessary to use an expensive cesium adsorbent with low cesium ion adsorption removal performance, but it is an adsorbent (synthetic zeolite) using waste materials, but it takes time and effort to hydrothermal synthesis. There are problems such as time-consuming manufacturing costs increase, solidification of radioactive contaminants to prevent the diffusion of radioactive materials, and a large amount of radioactive contaminants can be processed efficiently and economically.・ It was insufficient as a technology for storage.
Therefore, the problem of the present invention is that the adsorption performance for cesium ions is high, and can be easily produced at low cost, and it is possible to efficiently and economically perform cesium ion removal treatment and cesium ion diffusion prevention. It is to provide a cesium adsorbent.

本発明者は、上記課題解決のため検討を重ねた結果、難水溶性珪酸質粉末、アルカリ金属珪酸塩、アルミン酸カリウムおよび水を含有する混合物を焼成することで、セシウムイオンに対する吸着性能がゼオライトに比べて顕著に優れる吸着剤が得られることを見出し、本発明を完成した。   As a result of repeated studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have calcined a mixture containing a hardly water-soluble siliceous powder, an alkali metal silicate, potassium aluminate, and water, so that the adsorption performance for cesium ions is zeolite. As a result, it was found that an adsorbent remarkably superior to that of the present invention was obtained, and the present invention was completed.

As sodium silicate, aqueous solution No. 1 sodium silicate, No. 2 sodium silicate, No. 3 sodium silicate, etc., or one or two kinds of powdered sodium metasilicate can be used.

本発明のセシウム吸着剤は、例えば前述した難水溶性珪酸質粉末とアルカリ金属珪酸塩とアルカリ金属アルミン酸塩と水を混合した後、該混合物を焼成して得られる。該混合物において、アルカリ金属珪酸塩とアルカリ金属アルミン酸塩の配合割合は、セシウムイオン吸着能の点から、アルカリ金属珪酸塩100重量部に対してアルカリ金属アルミン酸塩を5〜60重量部配合するのが好ましく、10〜30重量部配合するのがより好ましい。
また、該混合物において、アルカリ金属珪酸塩とアルカリ金属アルミン酸塩は、セシウムイオン吸着能及び経済性の点から、その合計量が難水溶性珪酸質粉末100重量部に対して10〜100重量部となるように配合するのが好ましく、30〜70重量部がより好ましい。
The cesium adsorbent of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by mixing the above-mentioned poorly water-soluble siliceous powder, alkali metal silicate, alkali metal aluminate, and water and then firing the mixture. In the mixture, the mixing ratio of the alkali metal silicate and the alkali metal aluminate is 5-60 parts by weight of the alkali metal aluminate with respect to 100 parts by weight of the alkali metal silicate in terms of cesium ion adsorption ability. Of these, 10 to 30 parts by weight are more preferable.
In the mixture, the total amount of alkali metal silicate and alkali metal aluminate is 10 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the slightly water-soluble siliceous powder from the viewpoint of cesium ion adsorption ability and economy. It is preferable to mix | blend so that it may become, and 30-70 weight part is more preferable.

前記混合物において、(D)水の配合割合は、難水溶性珪酸質粉末とアルカリ金属珪酸塩とアルカリ金属アルミン酸塩の合計100重量部に対して、30〜150重量部となるように配合するのが好ましく、60〜100重量部がより好ましい。水の配合割合が少なすぎると難水溶性珪酸質粉末とアルカリ金属珪酸塩とアルカリ金属アルミン酸塩を均一に混合することができなかったり、多すぎると混合後の混合物が分離するなどして、吸着剤の製造に支障が生じる場合があるため好ましくない。なお、水溶液状のアルカリ金属珪酸塩を用いる場合は、その水分量は水の配合量に含めるものとする。   In the mixture, (D) the mixing ratio of water is 30 to 150 parts by weight with respect to a total of 100 parts by weight of the slightly water-soluble siliceous powder, the alkali metal silicate, and the alkali metal aluminate. Of these, 60 to 100 parts by weight are more preferable. If the blending ratio of water is too small, the slightly water-soluble siliceous powder, the alkali metal silicate and the alkali metal aluminate cannot be mixed uniformly, or if it is too much, the mixture after mixing will be separated. This is not preferable because the production of the adsorbent may be hindered. In addition, when using aqueous alkali metal silicate, the moisture content shall be included in the compounding quantity of water.

本発明のセシウム吸着剤の製造において、難水溶性珪酸質粉末とアルカリ金属珪酸塩とアルカリ金属アルミン酸塩および水の混合方法は特に限定されず、ホバート式モルタルミキサー、パン型ミキサー、強制二軸ミキサーなどの一般的なミキサーを用いて混合することができる。   In the production of the cesium adsorbent of the present invention, the method of mixing the poorly water-soluble siliceous powder, the alkali metal silicate, the alkali metal aluminate and water is not particularly limited, and the Hobart mortar mixer, pan mixer, forced biaxial It can mix using common mixers, such as a mixer.

本発明では、前記混合物を未乾燥の状態で焼成してセシウム吸着剤を製造するのが好ましい。焼成時の該混合物の含水率は10質量%以上が好ましく、10〜70質量%がより好ましく、20〜40質量%がさらに好ましい。含水率が低すぎるとセシウムイオンに対する吸着性能が大幅に低下するため好ましくなく、含水率が高すぎると焼成時間が長くなり効率的・経済的な製造が困難となる恐れがある。そのため、該混合物は含水率が10質量%以上、さらに10〜70質量%の範囲に収まるように調整した後に焼成するのが好ましい。例えば、該混合物が含水率の高いスラリー状の混合物である場合は、型枠等に流し込んで一定期間養生し、変形しない程度まで固化した後に型枠等から取り外し、含水率が70質量%以下になるまで乾燥させてから焼成するのが好ましい。また、該混合物が含水率の低い粉粒状である場合は、ロールプレス等で圧縮成形してから焼成するのが好ましい。焼成時の該混合物の形状は特に限定されないが、混合物の形状(厚み)が大きすぎると均質な焼成物が得られ難くなる恐れがあるため、混合物の厚みは30mm以下程度にすることが望ましい。   In the present invention, it is preferable to produce the cesium adsorbent by firing the mixture in an undried state. The water content of the mixture during firing is preferably 10% by mass or more, more preferably 10 to 70% by mass, and further preferably 20 to 40% by mass. If the moisture content is too low, the adsorption performance for cesium ions is greatly reduced, which is not preferable. If the moisture content is too high, the firing time becomes long, and efficient and economical production may be difficult. Therefore, the mixture is preferably fired after adjusting the moisture content to be within the range of 10% by mass or more, and further within the range of 10 to 70% by mass. For example, if the mixture is a slurry-like mixture having a high water content, it is poured into a mold or the like, cured for a certain period of time, solidified to the extent that it does not deform, and then removed from the mold or the like, so that the moisture content is 70% by mass or less. It is preferable to dry it until it is fired. Further, when the mixture is in the form of powder having a low water content, it is preferably fired after being compression-molded by a roll press or the like. The shape of the mixture at the time of firing is not particularly limited. However, if the shape (thickness) of the mixture is too large, it may be difficult to obtain a homogeneous fired product. Therefore, the thickness of the mixture is preferably about 30 mm or less.

前記混合物の焼成においては、セシウムイオン吸着能の点から、焼成温度を200〜800℃とするのが好ましく、300〜500℃がより好ましい。焼成時間は概ね5〜30分程度で良く、前記混合物の含水率が高い場合や焼成温度が低い場合には焼成時間を長めに設定する。本発明のセシウム吸着剤は、前記混合物の含水率を20〜40質量%に調整して、300〜500℃の温度で焼成すると、20分程度の短い焼成時間で吸着性能の高いセシウム吸着剤が得られるため、製造コスト(エネルギーコスト)低減の面から特に好ましい。焼成設備は特に限定されないが、焼成温度の管理が容易で簡便に使用できることから、電気炉や外熱式キルン等の焼成設備が好ましい。   In firing the mixture, the firing temperature is preferably 200 to 800 ° C, more preferably 300 to 500 ° C, from the viewpoint of cesium ion adsorption ability. The firing time may be approximately 5 to 30 minutes, and when the water content of the mixture is high or the firing temperature is low, the firing time is set longer. The cesium adsorbent of the present invention is a cesium adsorbent with high adsorption performance in a short baking time of about 20 minutes when the moisture content of the mixture is adjusted to 20 to 40% by mass and baking is performed at a temperature of 300 to 500 ° C. Since it is obtained, it is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the manufacturing cost (energy cost). The firing equipment is not particularly limited, but firing equipment such as an electric furnace or an external heating kiln is preferable because the firing temperature can be easily controlled and used easily.

本発明のセシウム吸着剤としては、セシウムイオン吸着能の点から、前記焼成物の粒度を粒径0.05〜5mmになるように調整して用いることが好ましく、粒径0.1〜3mmが特に好ましい。本発明において、粒度の調整方法は特に限定されず、一般的な粉砕機器を用いて焼成物を粉砕した後にふるい等を用いて所定の粒度に調整することができる。粉砕機器として、回転刃で固形物を切断粉砕するミル式粉砕機や粉砕刃の反復運動で固形物を粉砕するジョークラッシャーを用いると0.05mm以下の微粉の発生を少なくすることができるため特に好ましい。   The cesium adsorbent of the present invention is preferably used by adjusting the particle size of the fired product so that the particle size is 0.05 to 5 mm from the viewpoint of cesium ion adsorption ability. Particularly preferred. In the present invention, the method for adjusting the particle size is not particularly limited, and the baked product can be pulverized using a general pulverizer and then adjusted to a predetermined particle size using a sieve or the like. Especially when using a mill-type pulverizer that cuts and pulverizes solids with a rotary blade or a jaw crusher that pulverizes solids by repeated movement of the pulverizing blade, the generation of fine powder of 0.05 mm or less can be reduced. preferable.

本発明のセシウム吸着剤の使用量は、用途(セシウム含有物からのセシウムイオンの吸着除去、セシウム含有物からのセシウムイオンの拡散防止)あるいはセシウム含有物中のセシウムイオン濃度や吸着処理時間等によって異なるが、セシウムイオンの吸着除去に使用する場合は、セシウム含有物中のセシウムイオン濃度の50〜300倍程度の使用量(例えば、セシウム含有水のセシウムイオン濃度が10mg/Lの場合は、本発明のセシウム吸着剤を0.5〜3g/L使用する)で十分な吸着効果を発揮する。   The amount of the cesium adsorbent of the present invention depends on the application (adsorption removal of cesium ions from cesium-containing materials, prevention of diffusion of cesium ions from cesium-containing materials) or the concentration of cesium ions in the cesium-containing materials and the adsorption treatment time. Although it is different, when used for adsorption removal of cesium ions, the amount used is about 50 to 300 times the concentration of cesium ions in the cesium-containing material (for example, when the concentration of cesium ions in cesium-containing water is 10 mg / L, Adequate adsorption effect is exhibited by using 0.5 to 3 g / L of the inventive cesium adsorbent.

本発明のセシウム吸着剤の使用方法は特に限定されず、例えば、セシウム含有水からセシウムイオンを吸着除去する場合は、一般的に排水の凝集沈殿処理などで使用される凝集沈殿槽、攪拌ミキサー、吸引ろ過機、フィルタープレス等の装置を用いて、排水とセシウム吸着剤との混合および固液分離(セシウムイオンを吸着した吸着剤の除去)を行うことができる。また、本発明のセシウム吸着剤をセシウム含有物の保管(セシウムイオンの拡散防止)に用いる場合は、セシウム吸着剤を充填した透水性の袋やシート等をセシウム含有物の周囲に設置することで、雨水などによりセシウム含有物から溶出するセシウムイオンを吸着剤に捕捉させて周囲への拡散を防止することができる。   The method of using the cesium adsorbent of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, when cesium ions are adsorbed and removed from cesium-containing water, a coagulation sedimentation tank, a stirring mixer, and the like generally used in coagulation sedimentation treatment of wastewater, Using a device such as a suction filter or a filter press, mixing of the waste water and the cesium adsorbent and solid-liquid separation (removal of the adsorbent adsorbing cesium ions) can be performed. In addition, when the cesium adsorbent of the present invention is used for storage of cesium-containing materials (preventing diffusion of cesium ions), a water-permeable bag or sheet filled with the cesium adsorbent is installed around the cesium-containing materials. In addition, the cesium ions eluted from the cesium-containing material by rainwater or the like can be captured by the adsorbent to prevent diffusion to the surroundings.
