Efficient Extraction of Radioactive Isotopes of Cobalt, Europium, Cerium, Strontium, and Copper From Aqueous Solutions

Abstract

One of the most effective and simple methods of natural and wastewaters from heavy metals and radionuclides is a sorption extraction. Assorbents proposed the use of polymers, natural materials, and other oxides. Theparticles of iron oxide Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 are among the most promising materialsfor inorganic heavy metal ions and radionuclides from water bodies. Theiradvantage over other compounds is the lack of toxic effects on the human body,low cost, and ease of obtaining precursors.
