ABSTRACT
Metal hexacyanoferrates (MHCF) are a class of inorganic adsorbents used for wastewater management due to the presence of interstitial sites for capturing heavy metal ions. In present work, we are reporting the synthesis of magnetic nanocomposite of Fe3O4/graphene oxide/potassium copper hexacyanoferrate via wet chemical and coprecipitation approach. Potassium copper hexacyanoferrate (KCuHCF) and Graphene oxide (GO) both are marvelous adsorbents but their nano-size becomes a major obstacle in their separation process after the adsorption of the radionuclides. Thus, our synthesized nanocomposite Fe3O4/GO/KCuHCF enhances the recovery of KCuHCF even after radioactive Cs+ adsorption with adsorption capacity of 18 mg g-1 coinciding well with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm mechanism. The synthesized adsorbent is characterized thoroughly using UV-Visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, TGA, XPS, Raman spectroscopy, TEM-EDAX and XRD. This synthesized nanocomposite is used for the batch extraction of radioactive Cs+ from low level radioactive waste (LLW). The extraction kinetics followed pseudo-second-order kinetics mechanism.
