Abstract
The use of a naturally available mineral mixture (MM) for decontamination of low-level radioactive liquid waste has been investigated. Adsorption of 137Cs and 90Sr radionuclides on MM from aqueous solutions is reported by describing the effect of equilibration time, hydrogen ions, and adsorbent and adsorbate concentrations. Optimum physicochemical conditions have been identified. The data suggest the effective use of MM for on-line isolation of the radionuclides from the effluent of a nuclear industry/laboratory and subsequent storing for a long time in reduced solid form.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
