Cesium-selective composites. I. Synthesis and ion-exchange properties of sorbents based on AV-17 anion exchanger and double ferrocyanides of transition metals and potassium

New composites based on AV-17 anion exchanger and double ferrocyanides of p otassium and several transition metals (copper, zinc, cobalt, and nickel) w ere prepared. The conditions and parameters of synthesis were studied, and the chemical composition of the sorbents was determined. The sorption prope rties of the composites toward cesium under static conditions were investig ated, and their total static exchange capacities were evaluated. The effect of sodium nitrate supporting electrolyte on the distribution of cesium in the systems with these composites was studied.
