Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a cesium adsorbent and a cesium adsorbent. More specifically, it is an adsorbent that has a high cesium adsorption capacity and a small amount of cyanide elution, contains a large amount of cations other than cesium, and efficiently removes cesium from waste liquids with low cesium concentrations.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a cesium adsorbent.
- Radioactive cesium is produced by a fission reaction such as uranium 235, but it is an alkali metal that has a long half-life and is easy to elute, so it is contained in various treatment liquids at nuclear facilities. It is known that cesium can be adsorbed and removed by using a specific zeolite when other cations do not coexist in the waste liquid containing cesium.
- a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound has excellent cesium adsorption ability as a means for removing radioactive cesium from a liquid in which other metal ions coexist, such as seawater.
- a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound is a fine powder and has a primary particle size of about 50 nm to 100 nm, so that when used as an adsorbent as it is, it is dispersed in water, so that it is difficult to recover the whole amount. It is difficult to use it as an adsorbing tower. Therefore, it has been studied to use a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound supported on a substance having a porous structure.
- Patent Document 1 describes the use of a combustible cesium adsorbent in which a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound is deposited in the pores of activated carbon.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a cesium adsorbent having high cesium adsorption capacity and carrying a copper salt-based poorly water-soluble hexacyanoiron (II) salt (also known as copper ferrocyanide) in the pores of a porous carrier.
- II copper salt-based poorly water-soluble hexacyanoiron
- Activated carbon loaded with metal compounds is useful if the amount of radioactive waste is small, but activated carbon loaded with ferrocyanide metal compounds, especially when adsorbing cesium contained in a large amount of cesium-containing water.
- the amount of radioactive waste increases.
- the ferrocyanide-supported porous resin in Patent Document 2 also known as copper hexacyanoferrate (II)
- the proportion of copper ferrocyanide supported in the porous resin is small, and the radioactive waste is small. If it is useful, especially when a cesium is adsorbed for a large amount of processing liquid, there is a problem that radioactive waste increases for the same reason as described above.
- the present inventors have proposed a cesium adsorbent that can be used as a filter medium by solidifying a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound with a metal oxide as a binder.
- the cesium adsorbent obtained by the methods of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 has a content of poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound of only about several to no more than about 20% of the total weight of the adsorbent, In this method, the ratio of the poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound to the entire adsorbent can be easily increased to 50% or more, and the adsorption capacity can be significantly increased.
- Ferrocyanide ions contain cyanide ions as ligands, and ferrocyanide ions may decompose in the environment to generate toxic free cyanide, and the emission concentration must be lowered.
- the wastewater standard value for cyan is 1 mg / L as the total cyanide amount. Excess drainage cannot be discharged into the environment.
- This cyanide is not limited to cyanide ions that are highly toxic per se, but also cyanides that exist as ligands in ferricyanides and ferricyanides that are oxidized by iron, the central metal. The water after adsorbing and removing cesium needs to have a total cyan density less than the reference value.
- Patent Document 3 discloses adsorbing an ⁇ -oxycarboxylic acid such as citric acid or malic acid to a powder containing bitumen, which is an iron ferrocyanide pigment. It is described that bitumen fading can be suppressed.
- the present inventors conducted an experiment by adsorbing these ⁇ -oxycarboxylic acids to a cesium adsorbent prepared using bitumen, which is a kind of poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound and manufactured as a blue pigment. As a result, there was no expected effect on suppression of ferrocyanide elution. From this, it can be said that even if this method is effective in preventing blue fading after being applied as a coloring pigment, it is not effective in an environment where there are many alkali metal ions such as seawater.
- Non-Patent Document 1 Takeshita et al. Of Tokyo Institute of Technology disperse iron ferrocyanide in cesium-containing water, and then add a coagulating precipitant to coagulate and precipitate iron ferrocyanide adsorbed cesium, and then remove the precipitate.
- a method for removing cesium has been reported (for example, Non-Patent Document 1).
- polyaluminum chloride can be used as the coagulating precipitant, but it is only used as a coagulating precipitant that is generally known. Further, since the coagulating precipitant is added after ferrous ferrocyanide is put in water containing cesium and adsorbed with cesium, the effect as in the present invention cannot be expected.

Furthermore, even if contaminated water containing cesium has a high pH like seawater and contains a large amount of cations such as alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, elution of ferrocyanide ions can be suppressed. Since many contaminated waters can be treated, radioactive waste generated by cesium adsorption can be reduced.

When actually produced, the abundance ratio of two or more types of cations is not constant, and it is known that they are produced at various ratios.

- the structure is represented by (4-2m) Ni m [Fe (II) (CN) 6 ]
- m can be represented by 1 or more and 2 or less. If m is smaller than 1, it means that a part is present as water-soluble potassium ferrocyanide. Therefore, even if such a compound is mixed, m is 1 to 2 as a hardly soluble component in water. Needless to say.
- the cesium adsorbent in the present invention contains a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound, a finely powdered poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound together with a binder, and formed into a granular shape, in the pores of a porous carrier In which the water-soluble ferrocyanide and the transition metal salt are reacted to precipitate a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound, inside the pores of the porous carrier, and in sheet-like porous bodies such as fiber cloth A solid-state material such as a form in which is attached can be used.

- the inorganic binder is a material that generates a strong binding force by being sintered or melted and integrated at a high temperature of usually 500 to 1000 ° C. or higher, but since ferrocyanide decomposes at a temperature lower than that, Such a sintering process cannot be applied.
- the metal alkoxide can form a covalent bond with an OH group present on the surface of these inorganic particles by a condensation reaction, a chemical bond is formed at a lower temperature than the poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound decomposes, A strong molded body is obtained.
- the fine particle inorganic binder can be used without any particular limitation, but a metal oxide having a particle diameter of 1 to 100 nm is preferable because of its excellent binding property to a ferrocyanide metal compound. Further, those having a hydroxyl group (hydroxy group) on the surface are preferable because crosslinking curing by dehydration reaction by heating or the like or crosslinking by condensation reaction by metal alkoxide can be expected. Specifically, a metal oxide having a titanol group, an aluminal group, or a silanol group, or a metal oxide having a hydroxyl group (hydroxy group) on the surface with fine particles made of titania, alumina, silica, and zirconia can be used.

- the method for mixing the poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound and the metal oxide is not particularly limited, and a known mixing method can be used. Since it is desirable to mix as uniformly as possible, it is preferable to mix in advance using a kneader such as a kneader before molding. As a specific example, water or an organic solvent is added from a mixture obtained by mixing a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide metal compound, metal oxide fine particles and / or a metal oxide dispersion and water or an organic solvent as necessary. An example of a method for removing the volatilization is illustrated. In the mixture obtained here, since one or both of the poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound and the metal oxide are not dispersed or dissolved again in water, destruction such as loss of shape does not occur in a large amount of processing waste liquid.

- the porous carrier that can be used in these methods include silica gel, porous alumina, and porous glass.
- a method for forming the poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound fine particles with a metal oxide as a binder a method generally known as a method for producing silica gel can be used in addition to the above method. That is, it is a method of depositing silica gel by adding a catalyst such as sulfuric acid to a liquid containing sodium silicate. In this case, since the pH of the sodium silicate is high, the poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound is decomposed during the production by dispersing and mixing the poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound fine particles on the catalyst solution side and mixing with sodium silicate. Hard to do.

- a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound is synthesized, primary particles are produced as fine particles having a size of several tens to several hundreds of nanometers. Once such fine particles are dispersed in water, it becomes very difficult to separate and recover, so it is necessary to facilitate separation of water and adsorbent.
- a separation method using a filtration tower is known. For this reason, it is easy to adsorb and remove radioactive cesium dissolved in water by forming it into a shape suitable for filling the filtration tower.
- Filtration towers are widely used as a means for removing impurities contained in liquids, such as in the production of drinking water, and generally known are those filled with sand, activated carbon or ion exchange resin.
- the filling material to be filled in is required to have a large surface area and absorb a large amount of impurities, to have a low resistance when flowing liquid, and to be free from contamination by the filling material.
- the poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound is produced as fine particles having a very small size, and there is no known method for increasing the crystal size to a size suitable as a filter medium. For this reason, it is not preferable to fill the filtration tower as it is because the resistance to liquid passage becomes too large and leakage of fine particles is liable to occur.
- the particle size is Those having an average particle size of about 0.1 mm to 5 mm can be preferably used.
- the particle size is designed taking into account various factors such as the length of the adsorption tower, the flow rate of the flowing liquid, the cross-sectional area, the concentration of cesium contained in the water contaminated by cesium, and the influence of coexisting substances, the particle size shown here It is not limited to the diameter.

- colloidal silica is used as the binder, those heated at 120 ° C. to 150 ° C.
- the particles are disintegrated, they are reinforced by crosslinking with metal alkoxide to improve water resistance, so depending on the size after disintegration, they can be used as filter media, but the heating temperature is too low. This is not preferable because it causes a problem that it becomes difficult to control the size of the formed grains.
- a hard water-soluble ferrocyanide compound with a binder or when using a porous carrier such as silica gel carrying a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound
- a porous carrier such as silica gel carrying a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound

- the heating temperature can be increased or the heating time can be increased. It is preferable to carry out the condensation reaction by setting to
- the heating condition is not particularly limited as long as it is equal to or lower than the decomposition temperature of the ferrocyanide compound, but it is preferable to heat at 100 to 150 ° C. for 2 to 3 hours, for example. At that time, it may be heated in an inert gas atmosphere so that the ferrocyanide is not oxidized.

- a material formed into a granular form composed of a poorly water-soluble ferrocyanide compound and a metal oxide is treated with polyaluminum chloride, a material with about 10% by mass in terms of aluminum oxide content is used as it is. Then, since the cesium adsorption rate and the cesium adsorption amount decrease, it is preferable to dilute with water.

As a result of conducting the cesium adsorption test similar to Example 1 about this adsorbent, the cesium removal rate after being immersed for 24 hours was 90% or more. The concentration of iron contained in the water after the test was 2.1 ppm, and it was found that the organic polymer flocculant had no effect of inhibiting ferrocyanide ion elution.

Abstract
L'invention a pour but de proposer un procédé de fabrication d'un adsorbant de césium n'ayant pas de précipité de ferrocyanure même lorsqu'un adsorbant de césium contenant un ferrocyanure ayant une performance élevée d'adsorption de césium entre en contact avec une eau contenant du sel contaminée ayant une faible concentration en ions césium. A cet effet, l'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un adsorbant de césium caractérisé en ce qu'il amène un solide contenant un composé métallique de ferrocyanure faiblement soluble dans l'eau à être d'abord mis en contact avec un fluide de traitement contenant un réactif de floculation polymère inorganique, puis avec une solution alcaline ayant un pH de 7-10 et/ou avec un fluide de traitement contenant un tensio-actif.
