“…Sidhu et al (2004) showed that radioactive Pu was removed from contaminated soil via extraction with hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and citric acid, and the nuclear waste removal rates were as high as 90% [14]. Sear et al (1983) found that uranium removal was significantly improved with NaHCO 3 as the eluting agent [15]. In addition, bioremediation, including phytoremediation and microbial remediation, has been studied recently due to the low costs and feasibility for use in large polluted fields [16].…”

The magnetized zeolite with an optimized conversion rate of 53% can be readily synthesized from industrial anthracite using a water-based method. The highly porous structure of ferromagnetism zeolite demonstrates robust magnetic properties with a magnetite content of 12–15%, satisfying adsorbent separation and recycling through magnetic cylinder rotating and vibrating separation. A cesium adsorption and removal efficiency as high as 99.92% with a corresponding adsorbent recovery ratio of up to 96.36% can be achieved for the simulated cesium-contaminated soil with a water content of 20% and a cesium content of 1% with an adsorbent-to-contaminated soil ratio of 1:2. Adsorption and magnetic separation technology with magnetized zeolite synthesized from anthracite exhibited a high cesium removal rate and zeolite recovery ratio, demonstrating promising application potential in treating radioactive waste soils and robust and economically viable engineering feasibility.
