The peculiarities of sorption removal of uranium (VI) compounds from the surface and mineralized groundwater using clay-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) composite materials are studied. Representatives of the main structural types of clay minerals are taken as clays: kaolinite (Kt), montmorillonite (MMT) and palygorskite (Pg). It was found that the obtained samples of composite sorbents have much better sorption properties for the removal of uranium from surface and mineralized waters compared to natural clays and nZVI.It is shown that in mineralized waters uranium (VI) is mainly in anionic form, namely in the form of carbonate complexes, which are practically not extracted by pure clays. According to the efficiency of removal of uranium compounds from surface and mineralized waters, composite sorbents form a sequence: montmorillonite-nZVI > palygorskite-nZVI > kaolinite-nZVI, which corresponds to a decrease in the specific surface area of the pristine clay minerals. |
