Abstract

A sorbent based on Zn/Al-hydrotalcite intercalated by hexacyanoferrate (II)-ions is proposed for 137Cs concentration and its further radiometric determination in natural waters. Parameters for the optimal sorptive extraction of radiocesium from waters under static conditions and direct radiometric measurements have been determined. The use of ferrocyanide sorbent is shown to provide a good potential in analytical schemes of 137Cs concentration from waters with high salt background.
