Effective removal of Cs ions from radioactive wastewater by Melamine-Styrene based Polymer (MSP).

Cesium (Cs) is a major product of uranium fission, which is one of the most existed radionuclides in radioactive wastes. Removal of Cs-137 has a critical role in the decontamination of liquid radioactive waste due to its half-life of 30.17 years.

Assessment of distribution of heavy metals and activity level of Pb in biota from the northern coast of the Marmara Sea and Western Black Sea.

In this study, heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, V) and Pb analyses have been performed in the marine biota (scaldfish, sea lettuce, crab). Samples were collected from 5 different parts of the Marmara Sea and Western Black Sea in January 2020. The results indicated that the highest Cu and Zn content was found in algae samples, but it was observed that heavy metal concentrations such as Co, Cu, Cd and V were generally low and under permissible limit.

A radioactively durable melamine-styrene based polymer: Highly efficient removal of Sr.

Removal of strontium has a vital importance for radioactive waste management due to its long half-life. In this context, melamine-styrene based polymer (MSBP) was synthesized and characterized by different spectrophotometric methods. Sr ions were removed from the solution using MSBP sorbent.
