Soil is one of the most important natural resources. Measurement of natural radioactivity in soil is very important to determine the amount of change of the natural background activity with time as a result of any radioactivity release.Coal mine and thermal power plant in Gacko field is a very important industrial facility. The content of radionucl...

The adsorption of Zn(II) and Cu(II) onto siderite (S) and kaolin (K) and adsorption of As(V) onto bentonite (B) was studied. The chemical modification – precipitation of MnO2 on the kaolin (KM) and siderite (SM) surface was used to improve the adsorption properties of natural materials for their application in columns. In the batch tests the higher...
