Nuclear Decontamination
-40 and -14X40 mesh products.
Zeolite has the following advantages:
- Natural affinity to adsorb radioactive nuclides like cesium and strontium, making it effective in capturing and removing these contaminants
- Successfully results obtained in nuclear power plants, radioactive waste disposal sites, and nuclear disaster cleanup efforts, including Chornobyl and Fukushima
- Can be used to prevent radionuclides from escaping radiation waste disposal sites and to clean up contaminated water and soil
- Selective removal of radioactive contaminants, even at trace levels.
- Reduce the uptake of radionuclides by plants and animals, minimizing their exposure and potential for bioaccumulation.
- Cost-effective and resistant material for nuclear decontamination compared to other alternatives like organoresins.
- Captured radionuclides can potentially be recovered from zeolite for reuse or disposal.
