Abstract
Copper ferrocyanide-functionalized magnetite nanoparticles (Cu-FC-MNPs) were successfully synthesized by immobilizing copper and ferrocyanide on the surfaces of [1-(2 amino-ethyl)-3-aminopropyl] trimethoxysilane-modified magnetite nanoparticles. Radioactive cesium (Cs) adsorption tests were conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the Cu-FC-MNPS toward the removal of radioactive Cs. The Cu-FC-MNPs showed excellent separation properties using an external magnet in an aqueous solution.
