Abstract

Cobalt can be released into the natural environment as industrial waste from the alloying industry and as acid mine drainage, and it is also a radionuclide (60Co) that constitutes high-level radioactive waste. Smectite is a mineral that can be useful for adsorption and isolation of this element. In this study, Cheto-type montmorillonite (Cheto-MM), which is the source clays of The Clay Mineral Society (CMS) and already well-characterized, was used. The effect of the adsorption site affected by the presence of interlayer water on the adsorption of cobalt before and after dehydration by heating was evaluated and the adsorption mechanism of cobalt on Cheto-MM was studied by applying adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm models. The results showed that the adsorption characteristics changed with dehydration and subsequent shrinkage, and cobalt was found to be adsorbed at the edge of Cheto-MM for about 38% and adsorbed at the interlayer site for about 62%, suggesting that the cobalt adsorption of Cheto-MM is significantly influenced by the interlayer. By applying the adsorption kinetic models, the cobalt adsorption kinetics of Cheto-MM is explained by a pseudo-second-order model, and the concentration-dependent adsorption was best described by the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model. This study provides basic knowledge on the adsorption characteristic of cobalt on montmorillonite with different adsorption sites and is expected to be useful in predicting the adsorption behavior of smectite in high-level radioactive waste disposal sites in the future.

코발트는 합금산업에서 발생되는 산업 폐기물과 산성광산배수로 자연에 유입될 수 있으며 또한 고준위 방사성 폐기물을 구성하는 방사성 핵종(60Co)기도 하다. 스멕타이트는 이들을 흡착 격리하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 광물이다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 특성이 잘 알려진 스멕타이트 중 The Clay Mineral Society (CMS)의 source clay인 Cheto-type montmorillonite (Cheto-MM)를 사용하여 가열에 의한 탈수 전후 광물의 층간수 존재 여부에 따른 흡착 자리가 코발트 흡착에 미치는 영향을 평가하고, 흡착 속도 및 등온흡착식 모델을 적용하여 Cheto-MM의 코발트에 대한 흡착 기작을 연구하였다. 본 연구 결과 탈수 및 이에 따른 층간 수축에 의해 흡착 특성이 달라지는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 코발트는 Cheto-MM의 층 모서리 자리에서의 흡착이 약 38%, 층간 내부에서의 흡착이 약 62%를 차지하는 것으로 확인되었고 Cheto-MM의 코발트 흡착은 층간 내부에 의한 영향이 큰 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 흡착에 있어 흡착 속도 모델을 적용한 결과, Cheto-MM의 코발트 흡착 속도는 pseudo-second-order 모델로 설명되며 농도에 따른 흡착은 Langmuir 등온흡착 모델로 가장 잘 설명되었다. 본 연구는 몬모릴로나이트의 흡착 자리에 따른 코발트의 흡착 양상에 대한 기본지식을 제공하고, 추후 고준위 방사성 폐기물 처분장에서의 스멕타이트의 흡착 거동을 예측하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
