Comparing Cs binding affinity of Keggin type polyoxometalate and sodium Tetrakis(4-florophenyl)borate in solution and from Cs-doped pure phase vermiculite.

We assessed the aptitude of cesium (Cs) binding by Keggin type polyoxometalates (POMs) and compared the results with the Cs binding by sodium tetrakis(4-fluorophenyl)-borate (Na-TFPB). In this work, we aimed to establish a system to treat radioactive Cs contaminated soil with POMs economically. We evaluated the effect of initial Cs concentration (0.
