A nuclear accident or incident releases a large number of radionuclides. The most important
fission produced radionuclides are cesium, strontium, iodine, and thallium. It enters the body …

In the present investigation, three different solid wastes namely almond green hull, eggplant
hull, and moss were initially treated and used as adsorbents for the adsorption of strontium …

Spirulina is a blue-green alga, grown in alkaline water and used for detoxification of several
toxic metal ions. Apart from its nutritional value, it is also used for the decontamination of …

The sorptive potential of sunflower straw (≤ 125 μm) for Sr2+ from aqueous solution was
evaluated. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of solution pH …

It has been shown that two unconventional biomass sorbent materials, namely Bulinus
truncatus and shrimp (prawn) shell particles, after ashing at 700 deg. C for 6 hours, can be …

Chlorella has long been associated with detoxification of toxic/heavy metals. It binds and
eliminates different radioisotopes of strontium, technetium, uranium, cobalt, and thallium. In …

The study examined the efficiency of quercetin-NaOH modified spirulina platensis biomass
for uranium biosorption. Spirulina platensis dry biomass was modified using quercetin and …

Present study explored the feasibility of using waste rice-straw based carbons as adsorbent
for the removal of strontium under different experimental conditions. The batch sorption is …

Radioactive wastes are produced from various sources such as production and application
of radioisotopes in medicine, industry, research and agriculture. 90Sr and 60Co are …

The present investigation entails the biosorption studies of radiotoxic Strontium (90 Sr), from
aqueous medium employing dry cow dung powder (DCP) as an indigenous, inexpensive …
