Abstract

Treatment of liquid waste solution containing long-lived isotopes like Cs-134 isotopes is very important environmentally. In this investigation, CuO nanoparticles were made using Cu(NO3)2 as a precursor. The produced CuO nanoparticles were added to poly (vinyl alcohol-t- acrylamide) during the preparation process. The obtained blended polymer was characterized by different analytical tools. The blended polymer was applied to remediate the Cs-134 from a liquid solution. Moreover, the theoretical models were applied to describe the nature of the elimination of Cs-134 from its solution. The results exhibited that the blended polymer has a high capacity and fast removal performance toward Cs-134.
