Iron sulfide (FeS) exhibits superior reactivity toward a wide range of contaminants, making it a promising candidate for environmental remediation in various media, including surface water, wastewater, soil, and groundwater. Driven by green and sustainable development principles, efficient, low-cost, and environmentally friendly biosynthesis has attracted considerable attention and has great environmental remediation potential. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in biogenic FeS (bio-FeS), focusing on its synthesis mechanisms, performance characterization, and environmental applications.

Composite adsorbents based on a natural biopolymer matrix of chitosan, to which 4-amino-N'-hydroxy-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboximidamide and its Se derivative were attached, were synthesized. A complex of physicochemical analysis methods indicates that the direct introduction of a matrix with high ionic permeability into the reaction mixture contributes to the formation of homogeneous particles of composite with developed surface morphology, which enhances the kinetic and capacitive parameters of uranium sorption in liquid media. It has been established that the direct introduction of a matrix with high ionic permeability into the reaction mixture contributes to the formation of homogeneous particles with a developed surface morphology, which enhances the kinetic and capacitive parameters of uranium sorption in liquid media.

Developing efficient adsorbent is imperative for the utilization of uranium resources in seawater. Marine microorganisms and bacteria play an important role in the process of adsorption of uranium. In this work, a completely bio-based antimicrobial aerogel (quaternary cellulose/chitosan aerogel-QCNF/CS) was prepared by cross-linking quaternary cellulose nanofibers (QCNF) and chitosan (CS) via citric acid (CA).

Safe storage of fresh and irradiated fuel is ensured by solving the problem of photon emission protection. The neutron component is usually not taken into account due to its low intensity. However, for the new VVER-1200 fuel, the neutron component consideration is a mandatory procedure for radiation safety.

In molybdenum-99 (Mo) production facilities via the fission method, appropriate transportation containers must be used to transfer irradiated targets from the irradiation facility to the processing facility, following the requirements for transferring radioactive materials. In the Mo production industrial plan of Iran, the transportation container must be capable of carrying a holster containing nine irradiated low-enriched uranium targets, known as a hot batch. In this article, the proper shielding of two-layer containers based on the gamma spectrum emitted from the radioisotope inventory of a local hot batch, including fission products, activation products, and other radioisotopes produced from their decay chains, was investigated by using Monte Carlo code MCNP6.
