Abstract

In this study, desorption characteristics of Cs from clay according to the hydrophobic alkyl chain length of the cationic surfactant were investigated. Alkyltrimethylammonium bromide was used as a cationic surfactant, and the length of the hydrophobic alkyl chain of the cationic surfactant was varied from -octyl to -cetyl. The adsorbed amount of the cationic surfactant on montmorillonite increased with the length of the hydrophobic alkyl chain, and intercalation of the cationic surfactant into the clay interlayer increased the interlayer distances. The Cs removal efficiency was also enhanced with increasing alkyl chain length, and the cationic surfactant with the cetyl group showed a maximum Cs removal efficiency of $992{\pm}2.9%$.

본 연구에서는 오염된 점토 내 Cs을 제거하기 위하여, 계면활성제의 소수성 알킬사슬의 길이에 따른 Cs의 탈착특성을 연구하였다. 양이온성 계면활성제로 Alkyl trimethyl ammonium bromide를 사용하였고, 소수성 알킬사슬은 octyl-, dodecyl-, cetyl- 으로 변화시켰다. 소수성 알킬사슬이 길어질수록 montmorillonite 내 계면활성제의 흡착량이 증가하였고, 계면활성제의 층간 흡착으로 층간거리가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. Cs의 탈착률도 알킬사슬의 길이가 증가함에 따라 향상되었고 cetyl 그룹을 갖는 양이온성 계면활성제는 최대 $992{\pm}2.9%$의 Cs 제거율을 나타냈다.
