Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the efficiency of fly ash (FA) recycling technology, produced from a coal-fired power plant, with the capability to adsorb cesium ion[Cs(I)] and strontium ion [Sr(II)] from aqueous phase. Zeolite was produced from FA by hydrothermal treatment in an alkaline solution. Zeolite 12, 24, and 48 have a Garronite structure. Moreover, the specific surface area of Zeolite was greater than that of FA. Zeolite 12 demonstrated the adsorption capability of Cs(I) and Sr(II) from aqueous phase. Adsorption isotherms data fitted both the Langmuir equation (correlation coeffiient: >0.895) and the Freundlich equation (correlation coefficient: >0.881). In addition, the kinetic data fitted the pseudo-second-order model when compared to the pseudo-first-order model. Cs(I) and Sr(II) were selectively adsorbed by Zeolite 12 in complex solution system. Our findings indicate that Zeolite can be produced from FA by hydrothermal treatment in an alkaline solution and shows the capability to adsorb Cs(I) and Sr(II) from aqueous phase. Therefore, Zeolite can be useful adsorbent for purification in water environments.
