Treatment method for solution containing metal ions using cation adsorbent

1. A treatment method of a solution, comprising:

adding a cation adsorbent comprising tungsten oxide particles having a BET specific surface area in a range of 0.82 m 2 /g or more and 820 m 2 /g or less to a solution to be treated containing cations being recovery objects to let the cation adsorbent adsorb the cations;

precipitating the cation adsorbent adsorbing the cations to obtain precipitate; and

separating the precipitate from the solution to recover the cations,

wherein the cation is at least one ion selected from the group consisting of a cesium (Cs) ion, a strontium (Sr) ion, an iodine (I) ion, and a lithium (Li) ion.

2. The treatment method of the solution according to claim 1 , further comprising:

preparing a dispersion liquid by dispersing the cation adsorbent in an aqueous dispersion medium,

wherein the dispersion liquid containing the cation adsorbent is added to the solution.

3. The treatment method of the solution according to claim 1 ,

wherein the solution in which the cation adsorbent is added or the precipitate is treated by using an organic coagulant.

4. The treatment method of the solution according to claim 1 ,

wherein the solution contains a sodium (Na) ion together with the cation.

5. The treatment method of the solution according to claim 1 ,

wherein the solution contains at least one ion selected from the group consisting of a magnesium (Mg) ion, a calcium (Ca) ion, and a potassium (K) ion together with the cation.

6. The treatment method of the solution according to claim 1 ,

wherein the solution is seawater containing the cesium (Cs) ion, and an adsorption ration of the cesium (Cs) ion by the cation adsorbent is 90% or more.
