Ideal PB adsorbents for Cs removal should be able to spontaneously adsorb Cs+ ions without significant release of hexacyanoferrate fragments and can be stably stored in dry condition. This study synthesized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) beads using suspension polymerization with PB-rich shell as Cs adsorbents, which presents less than 2% water swelling in water and can be stored at dry condition. In batch and sand filter tests the PB-PMMA beads reveal spontaneous and endothermic Cs adsorption behavior with minimal release of the hexacyanoferrate fragments. ? 2018 Taiwan Institute of Chemical EngineersBeadsCesiumPMMAPrussian blue[SDGs]SDG6journal article10.1016/j.jtice.2018.01.0122-s2.0-85042356312https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85042356312&doi=10.1016%2fj.jtice.2018.01.012&partnerID=40&md5=72a31a308c666799b9425906b72beceb
