Abstract: Abstract Vermiculite (VMT) was tested as a low-cost, eco-friendly adsorbent for the removal of cesium(I), strontium(II), europium(III), americium(III), and technetium(VII) radionuclides from aqueous solutions. The raw material was characterized and checked as potential adsorbent. The… read more here.
