Vitrification of Cs and Sr loaded Iranian natural and synthetic zeolites

This study deals with the treatment of Cs+and Sr2+by using natural clinoptilolite from Ardakan region (Yazd province) of Iran and its relevant zeolite P as well as the vitrification process for immobilizing the Cs and Sr radionuclides in borosilicate glass matrices. The evaluation of various samples was carried out using X-ray techniques (XRF, XRD) as well as atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) for leaching experiments.
