FEATURES OF COBALT-60 AND MANGANESE-54 SORPTION KINETICS ON NATURAL AND MODIFIED SORBENTS FROM MULTICOMPONENT SOLUTIONS
The results of investigation of 60Co and 54Mn sorption kinetics on nature and modified sorbents are given in the paper. The sorbents used in this work were: bentonites from Cherkassy deposit (natural and Na-modified (PBA-20)); Horbkivskе deposit; Black Hill (Ca-form); Rokla (Na-form); zeolites from Sokirnitske deposit (natural, alkali- and acid-modified); palygorskite. It was founded out that industrial-modified by sodium bentonites PBA-20, Rokla and alkali-modified zeolite were the most effective among all investigated sorbents. It means that modification of natural sorbents by sodium leads to rise in sorption manyfold. The percent of water-soluble form of Co and Mn sorption on investigated natural and modified sorbents was insignificant and did not exceed 6%. Maximum of Co ion-exchange form was for bentonites PBA-20 (45%), Rokla (60%), alkali-modified zeolite (65%), and Mn - for alkali-modified zeolite (45.5%). Maximum of Co acid-soluble sorption form was determined for sorption on bentonite PBA-20 and alkali-modified zeolite (35 and 40% accordingly). Maximum of acid-soluble sorption form of Mn was near 30% for sorption on alkali- modified zeolite. The strongest (domination of acid-soluble and residual form) fixation of Co and Mn was in case of sorption on industrial-modified bentonites by sodium PBA-20, Rokla and alkali- modified under laboratory conditions zeolite.
