Abstract:The results of studies on selecting remediation solutions for removing plutonium and americium from soil are presented. The effect of the type and concentration of different reagents on the degree of leaching of radionuclides is studied. It is shown that acid solutions extract americium from soils. Reducing media must be used to extract plutonium from soils efficiently. The conditions for obtaining 90% reagent-based remediation of soils are determined.To remediate grounds contaminated with radionuclides, speci… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
