In order to adsorb cesium contained in the environment of water or soil, a known method used in water treatment, soil treatment or the like can be used. For example, in the water treatment, the cesium adsorbing material of the present invention may be put into water containing cesium to adsorb and insolubilize cesium, and then filtered. Alternatively, the cesium adsorbent of the present invention can be packed in a treatment tower or supported on a filter. In the treatment of groundwater, for example, a layer containing the cesium adsorbent of the present invention is formed in the soil, and cesium contained in the groundwater can be adsorbed when the groundwater permeates through this layer. In soil treatment, it is useful for the so-called in-situ purification method, which is directly put into soil containing cesium, and there is no particular limitation on the method to put into soil, (a) after digging up the soil and mixing with the cesium adsorbent of the present invention It can be appropriately selected according to the properties of the soil, topography, etc., such as backfilling, or (b) injecting the slurry of the cesium adsorbent of the present invention into the soil.

In the conventional cesium adsorbent, it is known that, in an environment containing inorganic ions such as sodium other than radioactive cesium to be purified, the ability to adsorb cesium to be purified is reduced. Even in the presence of such contaminating ions, it has a sufficient adsorption capacity.

本発明の吸着材は、中性下では長期に渡って優れたセシウム吸着能を維持でき、一方、酸性下やアルカリ性下では、容易にセシウムを脱離させることができる。このため、放射性セシウムの除染に用いた吸着材を、濾別、磁別等の手段で、環境中から分離、回収し、水中に分散させ、分散液のpHを酸性又はアルカリ性に調整すれば、吸着材から放射性セシウムを除去できる。除去後の吸着材は再使用が可能となり、放射性セシウムが溶出した水を濃縮すれば、放射性廃棄物の量を大幅に低減できる。セシウムを脱離させるpHは、3.0以下又は11.0以上が好ましい。   The adsorbent of the present invention can maintain an excellent cesium adsorbing ability for a long time under neutral conditions, and can easily desorb cesium under acidic and alkaline conditions. For this reason, if the adsorbent used for decontamination of radioactive cesium is separated and recovered from the environment by means of filtration, magnetic separation, etc., dispersed in water, and the pH of the dispersion is adjusted to be acidic or alkaline The radioactive cesium can be removed from the adsorbent. The adsorbent after removal can be reused, and the amount of radioactive waste can be greatly reduced if the water from which radioactive cesium is eluted is concentrated. The pH at which cesium is eliminated is preferably 3.0 or less or 11.0 or more.
