Abstract

The aim of this work is directed to prepare nanoparticles of egg shell hydroxyapatite-humic acid (ESHAP-HA) as a novel composite material. FTIR, EDX, TEM, XRD, and SEM identified it. Sorption characteristic studies on ESHAP-HA at different pH of solutions, shaking time, initial ion concentration and complexing agent were performed at 152,154Eu, 99Mo and 63Ni. The results were demonstrated that selectivity removal of 152,154Eu (~96 %) rather than 99Mo (8.5 %) and 63Ni (26.7 %). The sorption capacity of 152,154Eu(III), 63Ni(II) and 99Mo(VI) are 80.1, 12.5 and 2.3 mg/g, respectively, onto the ESHAP-HA nanoparticles. Application on the eclectic removal of 152,154Eu from mixed radionuclides (152,154Eu, 60Co, and 137Cs) solution has been evaluated. It concluded that the prepared ESHAP-HA composite material is a promising and recommended for separation of radio lanthanides and/or actinides (such as Am) from nuclear liquid waste and/or contaminated aquatic environmental.
