Selective Extraction and Coprecipitation Strategy for Effective Removal of 137Cs and Heavy Metals from Radioactive Electric Arc Furnace Dust Leachates

Abstract

Abstract The rising demand for steel has led to a rise in steel waste, including electric arc furnace dust (EAFD), which contains various heavy metals and may be contaminated with radioactive cesium-137 (137Cs). Owing to 137Cs’ long half-life and strong ...
