Abstract
Adsorption of americium with manganese-dioxide-impregnated filters has been studied. The adsorption of americium decreases as the pH increases due to its hydrolysis. From the reported laboratory experiments, it can be concluded that the adsorption on manganese-dioxide filters is not a reliable method to determine americium in natural waters.
