Popis: The behavior of 131I and 137Cs in various chemical forms in the oil-water and oil-gas phase systems and the sorption of these radionuclides from radioactive transformer oil onto various inorganic and organic sorbents was studied. The degree of the 137Cs extraction depends neither on the time of contact of the oil with aqueous solutions nor on the 137CsI concentration in the solution. Under all the experimental conditions, the degree of extraction of 137Cs did not exceed 5%. The degree of 131I extraction from water by the oil depends on the chemical form of the radionuclide: 131I−, 31IO3−, or 131I2. The maximal extraction (∼70%) is observed for K131IO3, and the minimal (∼25%), for 131I2. Granulated nanocomposites containing particles of carbon or NaX zeolite and Fizkhimin sorbents based on coarsely porous silica gel and containing Ag and Ni in 1: 4 ratio allow efficient removal of 137Cs and 131I from spent transformer oil of GK grade.
