Abstract: Silica-based ammonium molybdophosphate (AMP/SiO2) is an absorbent material that can effectively remove Cs from radioactive-contaminated wastewater (RCW) generated by Fukushima nuclide accident. Pressing/sintering method was used for final disposal of secondary waste (spent absorbent) to… read more here.
