- Title
Radioactivity: Sustainable Materials and Innovative Techniques.

- Abstract
Several sustainable materials have been used in nuclear applications such as cellulosic waste in treatment [[18]] or cement mixed with bitumen [[20]], cement waste [[22]], glass [[24]], and natural clay [[26]] for radioactive waste stabilization and radiation shielding. Natural mixed waste biomass is an excellent radioisotope biosorbent that can remove radioactive contaminants from soil and water. Radioisotopes, also known as radionuclides, are atoms with unstable nuclei that emit ionizing radiation. The removal of stable and radioisotopes of cobalt and cesium from aqueous solutions was examined in this work using biosorption in dried mixed waste of olive waste and water hyacinth as a low-cost and naturally accessible sorbent.
