Cesium adsorbent was fabricated by synthesizing Prussian blue (PB) via redox reaction between K3[Fe (CN)6] and FeCl3 in inverse-high-internal-phase-emulsion (i-HIPE) hydrogel. The PB nanoparticles are successfully generated via novel pathway, in-situ redox reaction in hydrogel. Maximum cesium ion uptake capacity of composite is 0.1047 mmol/g (per composite amount) which is 3-times higher than that of purchased PB, even though very small amount of PB have been inserted. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm of PB/i-HIPE hydrogel was followed to pseudo-first-order and Langmuir model respectively. These results can provide excellent pathway to design effective absorbent for removal of radio-active, aqueous cesium ion in environments.
