An adsorption gel was prepared from microalgal waste after extracting biodiesel oil by a simple chemical treatment of crosslinking using concentrated sulfuric acid. The adsorbent exhibited notably high selectivity and adsorption capacity towards Cs+over Na+from aqueous solutions, within the pH range of slightly acidic to neutral. The adsorption followed Langmuir isotherm and the maximum adsorption capacity of the gel for Cs+calculated from Langmuir model was found to be 1.36 mol kg−1. Trace concentration of Cs+ions present in aqueous streams was successfully separated from Na+ions using a column packed with the adsorbent at pH 6.5. The adsorption capacity of the gel towards Cs+in column operation was 0.13 mol kg−1. Although the adsorbed Cs+ions were easily eluted using 1 M hydrochloric acid solution, simple incineration is proposed as an alternative for the treatment of adsorbent loaded with radioactive Cs+ions due to the combustible characteristics of this adsorbent.
