Abstract:
Natural zeolite, clinoptilolite, was used to eliminate liquid radioactive wastes (LRW) 137Cs and 90Sr. The influence of several factors (pH of solution, grain size of the zeolite, etc.) on the process effectivity was studied. It was shown that clinoptilolite is an effective filter of the nuclides above.
