Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of rubidium and cesium enrichment in brine,a new adsorbent material,ammonium phosphotungstate-titanium pyrophosphate composite,was used for adsorbing rubidium ions and cesium ions,the new adsorbent material was prepared by ammonium phosphotungstate compounded with titanium pyrophosphate.The thermodynamics and kinetics of the adsorption process of rubidium and cesium ions on composites were studied.It found that the quasi-second-order kinetic equation and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation can fit the adsorption process well and the correlation was good through the kinetics and the thermodynamic study.It also found that ΔG 0、ΔH 0、ΔS 0 were all less than zero and the adsorption of rubidium and cesium on the composite adsorbent was spontaneously carried out.The adsorption of ruthenium and osmium by the composite adsorbent was an exothermic reaction.The increase of temperature was not conducive to the adsorption,and the chaos of the solid-liquid interface was reduced during the adsorption process,which was an entropy reduction process.

Key words: ammonium phosphotungstate-titanium pyrophosphate composite, adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics, rubidium, cesium
