(1-x)ZnO–xNiO nanocomposites (where x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) have been successfully synthesized using a mechanical mixing approach. Structural phase, morphological, and elemental composition analysis have been carried out using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, EDX, and XPS analysis. The systematic batch mode adsorption studies were carried out to evaluate the optimized adsorption behavior of synthesized nanocomposites (pH = 6; contact time = 90 min and adsorption dose = 0.5 g/L). Kinetic studies revealed that the prepared nanocomposite (0.80ZnO0.20NiO) successfully adsorbs U(VI) through a chemisorption nature with the maximum Langmuir capacity (~ 151.20 mg/g). The results demonstrated that the prepared 0.80ZnO0.20NiO can be used as a packaging material for column units in water purifiers.

Recycling electronic waste (WEEE) is a fundamental aspect of the circular economy. To develop technology and assess its economic aspects, the composition characterization of the waste items is crucial. Neutron-based analytical techniques, such as the INAA, in-beam NAA, and PGAA, are applicable to measure the elemental composition of WEEE. These techniques are bulk representative and offer simultaneous determination of the relevant elements without sample dissolution. This study explores the suitability of neutron-based elemental analysis methods for measuring common WEEE items, e.g., printed circuit boards and integrated circuits. Matrix effects mostly related to the thermal neutron self-shielding, were identified and successfully corrected, ensuring accurate mass fraction measurements.

The investigation elucidated the impact of pH and ions on the adsorption behavior of Pu(IV) by clay rock and bentonite, two pivotal geological barriers for disposal. Pu(IV) adsorption demonstrated a pronounced dependence on pH. In acidic environments, the adsorption of both clay rock and bentonite was markedly inhibited. Various ions exhibited inhibitory effects on the adsorption. Specifically, the inhibitory effect of Fe3+ was ascribed to the immobilization of Fe3+ hydrolysis products and competitive adsorption. Simultaneously, Pu(IV) formed complexes with both CO32− and HCO3−, hindering the adsorption. Consequently, it is recommended that radioactive waste repositories maintain a low-carbon and iron-salt environment.

In this study, a method of removing uranium from wastewater using Pseudomonas and Enterobacter in indigenous bacterial communities was proposed and demonstrated good removal efficiency. Biological mechanisms were employed to investigate the removal mechanism. The results suggested that the indigenous bacterial community can transform soluble uranyl ions to insoluble uranium-containing precipitates and fix them on the ore surface. Furthermore, hydroxyl, carboxyl, phosphate groups, and proteins of microorganisms were identified as crucial roles in the uranium removal process. These findings reveal the significant potential application value of the indigenous bacterial community for the remediation of uranium wastewater from decommissioned mining areas.

This paper delves into the Bayesian statistics applications of three preeminent models, Poisson distribution, Gaussian distribution, and Binomial distribution, in the continuous surveillance of artificial radionuclides. It introduces a slide-window method to accelerate the updating of the prior distribution of model parameters and compares the performances of three models before and after utilizing this method. Comparisons among the three models are made before and after using the slide-window. Experimental results demonstrate a marked enhancement in the performances of all models.

Knowledge of the geochemical behavior of europium is important for the safe disposal of radioactive wastes. Complexing inorganic anions are ubiquitous in repository environments and can affect europium adsorption behaviors significantly. This work comprehensively studied the Eu(III) adsorption on rutile in the presence of complexing inorganic anions. Our results indicated that sulfate and carbonate had a negligible impact on Eu(III) adsorption, while phosphate could strongly enhance the adsorption. The spectral results suggested that phosphate would enhance Eu(III) adsorption by forming a phosphate-bridged complex on rutile surface under acidic conditions, while promoting adsorption by surface precipitation under alkaline conditions.

Lithium tetraborate (Li2B4O7) was synthesized using the precipitation-aided high-temperature solid state technique followed by heating at various sintering temperatures. Then, Li2B4O7 was doped with Mn using several concentrations to find the optimum composition. Manganese-doped lithium tetraborate (Li2B4O7: Mn) was characterized using XRD, SEM, and TL techniques. Li2B4O7: Mn was irradiated using Sr-90 at several irradiation doses to investigate how the material responded to the β radiation. Based on this experiment, the TL dose response is linear for the absorbed dose from 10 to 30 mGy. Such a feature makes this synthesized material a promising material for dosimetry applications.

In this study, the thermodynamics and kinetics of U(VI) adsorption and removal on MIL-101(Fe, Cu)/GO from wastewater were studied. The effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration and adsorption temperature were systematically studied. The results showed an effective U(VI) adsorption capacity of the MOF. The adsorption of U(VI) was analyzed by using different isotherms as well as various kinetics models. The results showed that Langmuir adsorption isotherm and quasi-second-order kinetic model were followed by the adsorption of U(VI) on MIL-101(Fe, Cu)/GO. Thermodynamic studies (ΔG < 0, ΔH < 0) demonstrated that the adsorption process is exothermic and spontaneous. The results revealed that MIL-101(Fe, Cu)/GO has a real prospect for the application in the adsorption and removal of U(VI).

Neutron irradiation of gold foils in H2O causes the release of 198Au into the liquid in measurable quantities. Experiments prove that irradiation of the foils in water indeed yields 10 times more activity in the liquid than when the foil is removed from the liquid before irradiation. The activity of the gold foil shows no correlation with the yield of ejected 198Au ions, but the duration of neutron irradiation does. However, not all experiments are fully conclusive as no linearity between irradiation duration and emitted 198Au is apparent. A speciation experiment by crystallization reveals that the nuclear reaction produces 198Au3+ ions quantitatively.

This study uses fly ash (FA) as a cement replacement in concrete and evaluates the radiological safety of this concrete sample. Different fly ash mixing ratios were investigated and found that with a mixing ratio of 35%, the compressive strength of FA concrete is the highest (from 38 to 48 MPa). Next, we evaluate the radiation safety of the FA concrete by analyzing the isotopes 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K using two low-background gamma spectrometers. The obtained results showed that the use of FA in concrete production is entirely feasible as it meets both construction and radiation safety-related requirements.
