Abstract:Biosorption is an impurity-free application developed from the use of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes in everyday life and can be used to treat wastewater streams contaminated with various radionuclides. In this study, a laboratory decontamination experimental approach was developed to apply commercial chitosan as a biosorbent applied for removing radiocesium (Cs-137) and/or radiocobalt (Co-60) from spiked aqueous media. The factors assumed to affect the biosorption of both radionuclides included cont… Show more
