Radionuclide Removal from Aqueous Solutions Using Oxidized Carbon Fabrics by Ioannis Ioannidis, Ioannis Pashalidis, Batuhan Mulla, Gkerman Kotanidis, Kyriacos Ioannou, Georgios Constantinides, Nikolaos Kostoglou, Claus Rebholz

“…The data obtained from the experiments regarding the temperature effect implied that the relative adsorption for both actinides increases with temperature and that adsorption is an endothermic and entropy-driven reaction. The application of the fabrics to remove the two actinides from contaminated seawater samples showed that both the relative removal efficiency and the K_d values decreased significantly due to the presence of competitive cations (e.g., Ca²⁺ and Fe³⁺) and complexing anions (CO₃²⁻) in the respective waters. …”
