Two chemical processes involving precipitation of cesium from waste solutions with iron(II)hexacyanocobaltate(III) and triphenylcyanoborate have been conducted. Various parameters have been investigated such as pH, molar ratio of Fe2+/Co(CN) 3 , molar ratio of triphenylcyanoborate to cesium and the nature of the simulated wastes. High percentage of cesium removal from different waste solutions has been achieved by using iron(II)hexacyanocobaltate(III). Precipitation of cesium with triphenylcyanoborate depends mainly on the concentration of triphenylcyanoborate and cesium as well as the molar ratio in solution. Triphenylcyanoborate can be used as a selective precipitant for cesium in both acidic and alkaline solution ofpH not more than 10.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
