Decontamination of actual radioactive wastewater containing 137Cs using bentonite as a natural adsorbent: equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamic studies
Abstract Batch adsorption treatment using Iraqi bentonite as a natural adsorbent was adopted in this study to decontaminate actual 137Cs radioactive wastewater from the Al-Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Center, located south of Baghdad. The bentonite characterization was applied before and after treatmen...
