Removal of Decontaminating Agent from Aqueous Solution Using Microporous and Mesoporous Materials: Activated Carbon as an Effective Adsorbent

Wastewater from nuclear plants contains oxalic acid, a chelating compound used to remove surface activity. This forms complexes with radioactive cations, thereby impeding their removal by conventional techniques. In this study, oxalic acid was removed by adsorption techniques using commercial activa...
