Abstract
We investigated uranium adsorption and adsorption process characteristics in brine water, changing column bed height packed with amidoximated polypropylene-g-acrylonitrile(AOPPg- AN) fibrous ion-exchanger. Swelling ratios of AOPP-g-AN in fibrous ion-exchanger were 8.54 g/g H2O and 8.87 g/g for H2O2 solvent respectively. Ion exchange capacity increased with degree of graft and showed the maximum, 3.99 meq/g at 100% degree of graft. In batch process, uranium adsorption had reached an initial equilibrium in 10 min with the adsorption rate of 9.5 mg/min. Finial adsorption capacity was 3.95 meq/g, and pH effect could not be observed. In continuous process, adsorption capacity depended on various packing ratios and showed the maximum, 3.92 meq/g at L/D=1. In L/D<2, breakthrough curve was shown two step by channeling flow and ununiform adsorption. Breakthrough time and adsorption capacity were 26 min and 3.63 meq/g, respectively, in brine water adsorption. When compared with actual brine water and model solution, there was no significant difference of adsorption characteristics.

Acrylonitrile을 그라프트시킨 아미드옥심화 polypropylene 섬유이온교환체(AOPP-g-AN)의 충전 bed 높이를 변화시켜 간수 중 우라늄 이온 흡착 특성 및 흡착 공정 특성을 관찰하였다. 아미드옥심형 섬유이온교환체의 팽윤율은 그라프트율 100%, 물과 과산화수소 용매에 대하여 각각 8.54, 8.87 g/g을 나타내었다. 이온교환용량은 그라프트율이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 그라프트율 100%에서 3.99 meq/g으로 최대를 나타내었다. 회분식 흡착에서 우라늄 흡착은 10분 이내에 초기 흡착 평형에 도달하며, 흡착 속도는 9.50 mg/min으로 나타났다. 최종 흡착 용량은 3.95 meq/g이었으며, pH에 따른 흡착 특성 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 충전비에 따른 연속식 흡착시 흡착 용량은 L/D=1에서 3.92 meq/g으로 최대를 나타내었으며, L/D<2에서 편류 및 불균일 흡착에 의한 2단계 과정으로 파과가 나타남을 확인하였다. 실제 간수에 대한 우라늄 흡착 실험 결과, 흡착 용량 및 파과시간은 각각 3.63 meq/g, 26 min으로 모의용액과 비교 시 주목할만한 흡착능 저하는 관찰되지 않았다.
