Preparation and Properties of Hexacyanoferrates for the Removal of Caesium from Radioactive Waste Streams: A Review

  • Chapter
New Separation Chemistry Techniques for Radioactive Waste and Other Specific Applications

Summary

The preparation and properties of complex hexacyanoferrates in robust granular form suitable for large-scale use in packed columns are reviewed in detail. The hexacyanoferrate compounds of eight metals, i.e. Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Sn(IV), Ti, Zn and Zr, which all appear to show promise for the decontamination of radioactive waste streams are discussed. Several methods of preparation have been developed and include drying by the gel method, a freeze-thaw technique, use of a support material, use of a binding agent, sol-gel methods and slow growth on crystals of sodium or potassium ferrocyanide.

The important properties of the various types of cyanoferrate will be discussed and compared.
