Abstract
Prussian blue (PB), an adsorbent for the selective elimination of radioactive cesium from water, is highly versatile due to its unique crystal structure. However, PB crystals quickly decompose in an alkaline solution, generating hazardous cyanide contamination. In this research, the alkaline susceptibility of PB was remedied by incorporating copper sulfate as a protector. A stability assessment was conducted at several environmental conditions, such as high pH and temperatures from 10 °C to 50 °C, in seawater, artificial seawater, and river water. The crystalline and chemical stability of PB in the new class of composite was extremely high, even at a pH value of 11.2, as confirmed using XRD and total cyanide analysis. A comprehensive mechanism study revealed that, at high pH, the copper ions that cover the PB react with hydroxide ions to form copper hydroxide and shielding inner crystals. To decontaminate radioactive cesium, the first step was to immobilize nano PB on a cellulose nanofiber, followed by copper sulfate stabilization. Then, a spongiform adsorbent was made using polyurethane as the precursor. The new stabilized PB showed promising adsorption efficiency. Thus, this research will open a new range of applications for all existing and emerging PB-based adsorbents.
