Kinetics of Competitive Sorption in Decontamination of Materials from Radionuclides

详细

kinetic model of the mass transfer of a microcomponent in the simplest competitive system from the sorbed state (A) into a solution (B) and then into a sorbent (C) in accordance with the scheme A ⇄ B ⇄ C was formulated within the framework of competitive sorption statics. The kinetic equations were solved numerically. The influence exerted by the weight of competing sorbents А and С and by the degree of reversibility of linear reactions on the nonequilibrium decontamination factor K_dec(t) was determined. The time in which the equilibrium decontamination factor is attained for the model of chemical sorption kinetics was estimated from the experimental data on the rate constants of direct and reverse heterogeneous reactions and on the distribution coefficients of Cs(I) in the SiO₂ (A)–CsCl solution (B)–Prussian Blue (C) system.
