Description

Three local natural clays have been investigated for the removal of radioiodine 125. Describes an improved method of decontaminating radioiodine wastes with natural phosphate clay treated with silver nitrate. An uptake efficiency of 8 meq/ 100 g clay within 10 minutes reaction time is attained. The study revealed that 10 g of natural phosphate clay treated with 1% silver nitrate solution gives an optimum uptake. The uptake of iodide by silver treated phosphate clay is a rapid irreversible process. 8 Ref
