OBJECTIVES
The
following objectives are pointed towards solving a significant problem
in the Ukraine and elsewhere: the remediation of water containing
low-level radioactive wastes by the action of a new superadsorbent
that is selective to cesium metal ions.
- To
develop a new porous, superadsorbent that once saturated with the
target metal ion (Cs) can be heated to form a non-porous glass that
permanently sequesters the metal ions and this glass can be safely
stored in the proper vaults;
- To characterize these new
superadsorbents by modern physical methods; so as to establish the
relationships between their composition, structure both physicochemical
properties and structural - adsorption performances; and to create
scientific bases of synthesis of functionalized polysiloxane
superadsorbents with desired properties;
- To design a
special procedure and a two-phase reactor for the preparation of solid,
porous polyorganosiloxane spheres having a wide commercial interest;
- To
carry out transfer of obtained knowledge and technologies to the
various companies for production of the necessary marks of organosilica
superadsorbents in an industry-scale.
