Nanocomposites for Decontamination of Multicomponent Technogenic Dilutions
Journal Title: Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences, Radiation and Applications - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Employing model solutions we have tested a new technological method of neutralization of multi-metal containing effluences including low radioactive ones. The proposed approach seamlessly combines the positive properties of both physical-chemical methods and nanotechnology using silica-magnetite nanocomposite SiO2/Fe3O4 that is synthesized directly in the man-caused polluted solution (the so-called method of direct sedimentation). The novelty of the method is the absorption of pollutants by the whole volume of synthesized nanoparticles in addition to the absorption of the particles’ surface. After separation of the solid and liquid phases, about 75% Cs, 93% Sr, 97% Cu and 99% Fe+2/ Fe+3 pass from the dispersion medium into a solid phase per one loop. The obtained SiO2/Fe3O4 nanocomposite heated to 1000 °C forms a small size glass phase, which is a reliable matrix for the longterm retention of radionuclides incorporated in the composite’s volume. Thus the approach will allow one to reduce the collected radioactive isotopes to a tiny volume, which means the decrease of land and funds needed to burial radioactive waste.

The Three-Body Structure of 2n and 2p Halo Nuclei
A three-cluster model developed for ternary fission studies has been applied for the first time to study the three-body structure of 2n and2p halo nuclei. For the experimentally known 2n, 2p halo nuclei, all possible ter...
Dependence on the Identification of the Scale Energy Parameter Q2 in the Quark Distribution Functions for a DIS Production of Za
We discuss the Z-production in a DIS (Deep Inelastic Scattering) process e + p → e + Z + X using the Parton Model, within the context of the Standard Model. In contrast with deep inelastic eP-scattering (e + p → e + X),...
Signal of h → µτ, ττ in ν2HDM⊕S3
Nowadays in particle physics, the exploration of the flavour physics through the Higgs boson phenomenology is one of the main goals in the field. In particular, we are interested in the Lepton Flavour Violation (LFV) pro...
Formation of Medium-Heavy Elements in Rapid Neutron Capture Process
We predict the neutron drip-line and simulate the r—process path for Cu — Sn, based on the calculation of binding energy in the frame-work of relativistic and non-relativistic mean field formalisms. We also compare the q...
Study of H2/N2Mixture Plasma Treatment on the AISI 1045
In the present work, we analyzed the effect of the plasma treatment of 80% H2/20% N2 mixture plasma over the AISI 1045 steel. To produce the plasma, an AC discharge of 0.1 A at 350 V was produced at a total pressure of 3...
