Abstract
Harmful elements in Egyptian phosphoric acid were identified by radiochemical neutron activation analysis. In the Second Egyptian Nuclear Research Reactor, precipitates were created and examined to identify many types of contaminants (Ce, Co, Cr, etc.). New bionanocomposite materials effectively removed with a high proportion each of Ce, Th, Pa, U, Np, Zn, and Co (100%) and a somewhat lower percentage (65–85%) for Cr, Sc, and Fe from simulated solutions, suggesting promise for purifying phosphoric acid.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
