AB  - Copper ferrocyanide (CuFC) was used as an adsorbent to remove cesium. Jar test 
      results showed that the adsorption capacity of CuFC was better than that of 
      potassium zinc hexacyanoferrate. Lab-scale tests were performed by an 
      adsorption-microfiltration process, and the mean decontamination factor (DF) was 
      463 when the initial cesium concentration was 101.3mug/L, the dosage of CuFC was 
      40mg/L and the adsorption time was 20min. The cesium concentration in the 
      effluent continuously decreased with the operation time, which indicated that the 
      used adsorbent retained its adsorption capacity. To use this capacity, 
      experiments on a countercurrent two-stage adsorption (CTA)-microfiltration (MF) 
      process were carried out with CuFC adsorption combined with membrane separation. 
      A calculation method for determining the cesium concentration in the effluent was 
      given, and batch tests in a pressure cup were performed to verify the calculated 
      method. The results showed that the experimental values fitted well with the 
      calculated values in the CTA-MF process. The mean DF was 1123 when the dilution 
      factor was 0.4, the initial cesium concentration was 98.75mug/L and the dosage of 
      CuFC and adsorption time were the same as those used in the lab-scale test. The 
      DF obtained by CTA-MF process was more than three times higher than the 
      single-stage adsorption in the jar test.
