Effect Laser on Natural Cellulose Filter for Efficient Removing Radionuclides from Aqueous Solutions

Abstract Water tainted with radioactive elements is carcinogenic and presents a number of serious health risks as well as environmental hazards. The activated carbon (AC)-based adsorption method’s broad pH range, speed, affordability, and environmental friendliness make it an excellent choice for treating radionuclide-contaminated water. This research provides overview about the radionuclides in liquid, their potential health risks and various removal methods. Furthermore, it emphasizes the several parameters that affect the first dose of the adsorbent, the adsorption temperature, the initial concentration of radionuclides, the physical properties of (AC) and adsorption capacity. The construction of an extremely effective and useful adsorption-based radioactive removal technology can be encouraged. The filters are tasked with removing radionuclides from a solution contaminated with radionuclides. The filters were made based on the weight of sunflower carbon, where weights of 2 grams, 4 grams, and 6 grams. The filtration process took place in the atomic energy laboratories in the Radiation Department in Baghdad, Nine sample filters the samples were manufactured in the form of circular discs measuring four centimeters and different thicknesses with weights starting from (2,4,6) grams. Removal of 137 Cs using a litmus filter and with the help of a laser achieved good results, reaching (17.8 Bq\L) When applied water.
