Various methods have been proposed to separate 3ppb), but the adsorption method is considered promising because its concentration is dilute. Adsorptive properties tests have been conducted on various adsorbents, but a satisfactory one has not yet been obtained because a large amount of adsorption is required in an extremely low concentration range. Basic adsorption properties such as equilibrium adsorption amount, adsorption rate, and desorption rate are important as the characteristics required for adsorbents for uranium in seawater, but in addition, the sustainability of adsorption performance against repeated adsorption and desorption, and the Chemical durability, strength to withstand the flow of seawater, formability into shapes that are advantageous for contact with seawater, and cost of the adsorbent cannot be ignored. Even from this point of view, the adsorbents that have been published so far have not been satisfactory in terms of practical performance.

The present invention was developed based on the discovery that it has a large adsorption capacity and also has excellent properties from the viewpoint of industrially and economically separating heavy metals.

- When 5 weight percent borosilicate glass is melted and shaped and heat treated at temperatures of 500-600°C, phase separation occurs, forming a phase rich in acid-soluble sodium borate and a phase rich in nearly insoluble silicon dioxide. The phase splits into A subsequent treatment with acid to elute the sodium borate-rich phase yields a porous glass consisting primarily of silicon dioxide.

いて長時間高い吸着性能を保持し得る。 The porous glass of the present invention has a large pore volume and a sharp pore size distribution in relation to its composition, and by appropriately devising phase separation conditions and acid treatment conditions, the pore size peak suitable for separating heavy metals can be obtained. Values can be adjusted in the range 10-1000 Å. Furthermore, as shown in the Examples below, the porous glass of the present invention exhibits a particularly high adsorption rate for uranium in seawater. It also has the advantage of being highly resistant to chemicals and heat, and highly durable against repeated adsorption and desorption. In addition, many of the adsorbents that have been published so far are in the form of fine powder, but the porous glass of the present invention can be freely formed into granules, fibers, rods, etc., so it is particularly advantageous in industrial production where large quantities of uranium are extracted from the sea. be. Needless to say, the present invention is also effective for heavy metal ions other than uranium, such as Cr ions and Fe ions. Furthermore, porous glass has enough strength to withstand the flow of seawater if its shape and dimensions are selected, and because it is chemically stable, it can maintain high adsorption performance in seawater for a long time.

るところ極めて大である。 As described above, the present invention can be widely applied to wastewater treatment processes in which heavy metals are selectively adsorbed and separated from aqueous solutions containing heavy metals. For example, the purpose is to purify wastewater by bringing the porous glass into contact with wastewater containing heavy metal ions such as the Cr ions (industrial wastewater, laboratory wastewater, hospital wastewater, etc.) and adsorbing the heavy metal components onto the porous glass. It can be used for It goes without saying that radioactive wastewater containing radioactive heavy metals such as uranium can be brought into contact with the porous glass and the heavy metal components adsorbed onto the porous glass, which can be used to purify radioactive wastewater. As a different effect of the present invention, the porous glass after adsorbing radioactive heavy metal components such as uranium is sintered and homogenized to form a small volume solid material with no risk of the heavy metal components flowing out or being lost. It also has the added benefit of industrial safety in that it is formed into waste, making it an extremely important contribution to the treatment of radioactive wastewater.
