Removal of Cobalt-60 and Caesium-134 Ions from Contaminated Solutions by Sorption Using Activated Carbon

Date pits (DP) and sawdust (SD) were used as precursors for activated carbons which were prepared by steam pyrolysis of DP and chemical activation of SD, respectively. Surface characterization of both activated carbons was undertaken using the BET method. Adsorption of the radionuclides onto the act...
