Assessment of uranium contamination in groundwater of Mansa district, Punjab (India) and its remediation using SnO2
The high prevalence of uranium in water has the potential to cause significant radio and chemotoxicity, which could lead to serious health issues affecting the kidneys, brain, liver, heart and other organs. Consequently, the consistent assessment of U levels in water sources and the development of effective remediation techniques for its extraction have garnered significant global interest. The present work was conducted to evaluate uranium contamination in groundwater of Mansa district in SW-Punjab region and observed a mean uranium concentration of 95.46 μg/L. About 68 % of the groundwater samples had uranium levels higher than the 30 μg/L limit set by the WHO in 2011. For the remediation of U(VI), SnO2 was synthesized using the sol-gel method and showed a maximum Langmuir adsorption capacity of 163.07 mg/g under optimal adsorption parameters: pH (6), adsorbent dosage (0.5 g/L), and contact period (90 min). Hence, prepared SnO2 was identified as efficient and effective for the remediation of uranium-contaminated groundwater samples.
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.
