Determination of inorganic exchange efficiency of rubidium, cesium, and barium

Abstract

Reducing environmental pollution needs for modern life. Nowadays, the pollution levels increase with time because there are many causes and sources to affect directly the natural environment. So a necessary improvement of the environment quality would treat and reduce waste. In this paper, the inorganic exchange method was chosen. Two kinds of inorganic salts were used: ammonium phosphomolybdate n-hydrate (AMP), and ammonium phosphotungstate n-hydrate (AWP) for studying on the behavior exchange of Rb(I), Cs(I), and Ba(II). The results showed that the exchange efficiency was high for both rubidium and cesium. The exchange efficiency ratios depended on the kind of inorganic compound and acid concentration.
