Abstract

Activated carbon (AC) is an organic material with a high carbon content and is made from carbon-based material by its thermal decomposition in a furnace using a controlled atmosphere and heat. In this study, AC has been used for investigation, as a potential candidate, for laboratory separation process of technetium. The TcO4 − has high mobility in environment, but mechanism for the TcO4 − adsorption/desorption on AC is not exactly known. The main aim of this research was to investigate the separation of the 99Tc using five different samples of AC.
