Abstract

We have synthesized and characterized an inorganic ion-exchanger, ceric vanadate. The exchanger is stable towards thermal, chemical and radiation doses within the appreciable working range. The molecular formula of the ceric vanadate has been formulated as 4CeO2·5V2O5·12H2O. Multi elemental uptake studies by the newly synthesized exchanger have been carried out using “tracer packet” technique. It has been found that the exchanger is highly suitable in removing Tl, Pb, Bi and Po. However, the uptake of Cu and As by the exchanger is moderate while that of Hg, Zn, Ga, Ge, and Se has been found negligible.
