Polyacrylonitrile/ferrocyanide composite incorporated with cetrimonium bromide (PFICB) was synthesized and evaluated as a novel bifunctional adsorbent for coremoval of Cs+ and HCrO4−. Results of the reaction time effect showed that adsorption of Cs+ and HCrO4− onto PFICB were rapid processes. The effect of the solution pH in the range 2.5–10 revealed that PFICB had the ability to simultaneously remove Cs+ and HCrO4−. The maximum adsorption capacity of PFICB was found to be 41.79 mg/g for Cs+ and 19.39 mg/g for HCrO4−. These values were compared with those reported in literature using other adsorbents.
