초록

본 연구에서는 고염/고방사성 폐액 내 함유된 주요 고방사성핵종인 Cs 제거를 목적으로 고효율의 복합 흡착제(potassium cobalt ferrocyanide (PCFC)-loaded chabazite (CHA)) 합성 및 이의 적용성을 평가하였다. 복합 흡착제는 Cs을 비롯한 다른 입자를 수용할 수 있는 CHA를 지지체로 선정하였으며, $CoCl_2$ 및 $K_4Fe(CN)_6$ 용액의 단계적인 함침/침전을 통해 PCFC를 CHA 세공 내에 고정화함으로써 합성하였다. 복합 흡착제의 합성 시 평균 입자크기가 $10{\mu}m$ 이상의 CHA를 지지체로 사용할 경우, PCFC 입자는 안정적인 형태로 고정화되었다. 또한, 합성 시 복합 흡착제의 정제를 증가시키는 세척 방법을 최적화함으로써, 복합 흡착제의 물리적 안정성이 향상되었다. 최적의 합성법을 통해 얻은 복합 흡착제에 의한 Cs 흡착 시, 담수(무염조건) 및 해수(고염 조건)에서 모두 빠른 흡착 속도를 보였으며, 염 농도와 무관하게 비교적 높은 분배계수 값($10^4mL{\cdot}g^{-1}$ 이상)을 나타내었다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서 합성한 복합 흡착제는 CHA 및 PCFC가 각각 가지고 있는 물리적 안정성과 Cs에 높은 선택성 등을 고려하여 촤적화한 소재이며, 고염/고방사성폐액에 함유되어 있는 Cs을 고효율로 신속하게 제거할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

For the removal of cesium (Cs) from high radioactive/high salt-laden liquid waste, this study synthesized a highly efficient composite adsorbent (potassium cobalt ferrocyanide (PCFC)-loaded chabazite (CHA)) and evaluated its applicability. The composite adsorbent used CHA, which could accommodate Cs as well as other molecules, as a supporting material and was synthesized by immobilizing the PCFC in the pores of CHA through stepwise impregnation/precipitation with $CoCl_2$ and $K_4Fe(CN)_6$ solutions. When CHA, with average particle size of more than $10{\mu}m$, is used in synthesizing the composite adsorbent, the PCFC particles were immobilized in a stable form. Also, the physical stability of the composite adsorbent was improved by optimizing the washing methodology to increase the purity of the composite adsorbent during the synthesis. The composite adsorbent obtained from the optimal synthesis showed a high adsorption rate of Cs in both fresh water (salt-free condition) and seawater (high-salt condition), and had a relatively high value of distribution coefficient (larger than $10^4mL{\cdot}g^{-1}$) regardless of the salt concentration. Therefore, the composite adsorbent synthesized in this study is an optimized material considering both the high selectivity of PCFC on Cs and the physical stability of CHA. It is proved that this composite adsorbent can remove rapidly Cs contained in high radioactive/high salt-laden liquid waste with high efficiency.
