Graphene oxide (GO), one of the most important graphene derivatives, has many oxygen-
containing functional groups on its basal plane and on the edges in the form of epoxy …

Scientists face challenge in identifying the radioactive materials which are found as dotted
images on various imaging plate (IP) autoradiographic photos of radioactively contaminated …

Radioactive caesium (chiefly 137 Cs) is a major environmental pollutant. The mobility of Cs
in temperate soils is primarily controlled by sorption onto clay minerals, particularly the …

The charged surfaces of micaceous minerals, especially illite, regulate the mobility of the
major radioisotopes of Cs (134 Cs, 135 Cs, 137 Cs) in the geosphere. Despite the long …

We investigated the adsorption of Tl+ onto purified Illite du Puy (IdP). Distribution coefficients
(K d) for trace Tl adsorption indicated a moderate pH-dependence from pH 2.5 to 11 …

In this study, we reviewed the selective adsorption and irreversible fixation of cesium (Cs+)
on clay minerals. The selective adsorption of Cs+ results from reactions with frayed edge …

Currently, there is a growing interest in the use of natural materials in various fields of
science, technology and environmental protection due to their availability, low-cost, non …

Insights at the microscopic level of the process of radiocesium adsorption and interaction
with clay mineral particles have improved substantially over the past several years, triggered …

The occurrence of 137 Cs in size fractionated samples in river water from the Abukuma
River system,(the Kuchibuto and Abukuma Rivers, five sampling events for three sites) was …

Clay minerals are important soil components and usually coexist with organic matter,
forming mineral-organic associations (MOAs), which control the speciation, mobility, and …
