Facile one-pot synthesis of copper hexacyanoferrate nanoparticle functionalised silica monoliths for the selective entrapment of 137Cs†
Abstract
In this study, hexacyanoferrate nanoparticle (NP) functionalised silica monoliths were used to selectively remove Cs+ from aqueous solutions which also contained large concentrations of Na+. Various NP loading levels were examined from 0.2 wt% up to 5.1 wt% producing different 133Cs and 137Cs sorption results.
