The use of zeolites for the treatment of radioactive waste
نویسنده
چکیده
The uptake of 137-Cs and 90-Sr on to synthetic zeolite A has been studied. The use of a combined barium exchange followed by a relatively mild heat treatment has been shown to fix the isotopes within a collapsed zeolite structure. Leaching experiments using deionized and simulated sea and pond waters were carried out on zeolite compacts and zeolite/cement composites. They demonstrated the effectiveness of the calcination and cement containment. Some comments on the interpretation of leach test data are made.

Dosimetric comparison between four kinds of radioactive esophageal stents to be used in the treatment of advanced esophageal cancers using Monte Carlo simulation
Finding accurate methods to be employed for the treatment of esophageal cancers is of especial interest for researchers, due to the sensitivity of this tissue. Recently radioactive stents loaded with I-125 brachytherapy seeds have been widely investigated for the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer. It is necessary to investigate the dose distribution of any radioactive esophageal stents be...
متن کاملRADIOACTIVE DISCHARGE FROM PATIENTS WITH THYROID CANCER UNDER 131I TREATMENT AND ITS SAFE DISPOSAL TO PUBLIC DRAINAGE
The treatment of thyroid cancer using an unsealed source of radioactive materials is usually associated with a large amount of 131I. A major problem for hospital admission of these patients is the waste disposal which requires protection of the public. 152 patients with thyroid cancer admitted to the nuclear medicine department of Said AI- Shohada Hospital for UI I treatment were studied. 1...

In this research, the synthesize possibility of Potassium Nickel Hexacyanoferrate complex on natural clinoptilolite, as a support for removal of Cs+ and Sr+2 from radioactive waste, was investigated. Previous work showed that in the high concentration of sodium ion the sorption of these radionuclides on zeolites is low, therefore we enhance the efficiency for the purpose with loading Potas...
