Abstract
Radioactive liquid waste containing nuclear fuel materials and chemical reagents is stored in nuclear facilities. To eliminate the radioactivity of the radioactive liquid waste, we developed RFIDA, a new perfluoroalkyl (RF)-based ligand with a basic structure of iminodiacetic acid (IDA). In this study, a solvent extraction test was conducted to confirm that the synthesized RFIDA adsorbs cations, and an adsorption test was conducted by impregnating RFIDA into porous silica with a polymer. To understand the adsorption mechanism, the adsorption of Eu on RFIDA and the coordination status of RFIDA with Eu-bearing functional groups were analyzed by particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and ion beam-induced luminescence (IBIL) analyses, respectively. The PIXE analysis revealed the adsorption performance of RFIDA. The complex status of Eu was investigated using IBIL analysis, and the results showed that Eu and NO3− possibly coordinated with the functional group. The solid adsorbent impregnated with RFIDA also complexes with Eu in the same chemical form as in solvent extraction.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
