Mechanochemically Synthesized Prussian Blue for Efficient Removal of Cesium Ions from Aqueous Solutions.

ABSTRACT: The adsorptive removal of radioactive cesium [Cs(I)] is important for ensuring a clean aquatic environment. In this work, the adsorption of Cs(I) was carried out using Prussian blue (PB) prepared by mechanochemical synthesis. X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy results indicated that PB had been successfully synthesized by mechanochemical synthesis. Thermogravimetric analysis, contact angle analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, elemental analysis, and electrophoretic light scattering spectrophotometry confirmed that several defects were formed, explaining the principal mechanism for the efficient adsorption over PB prepared by mechanochemical synthesis. The superior adsorption properties to
