Uptake of Radionuclides Co, Cs, and Sr with α-FeO and FeO Particles from Aqueous Environment.

In the paper, investigation results of the uptake efficiency of radionuclides Co, Sr, and Cs dissolved in water onto iron oxides α-FeO and FeO are presented. It was found that sorption efficiency increased for higher pH values. Independent of the oxide nature, the uptake characteristics are the best toward Co and the worst toward Cs, forming the row as follows: Co > Sr > Cs.
