Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA) was selected among various eluents due to its highest removal efficiency for lead (Pb) (43.7%) and zinc (Zn) (57.1%) leaching from Pb-Zn contaminated soil by soil column experiment. Compared with newly prepared EDTA eluent, using recycled EDTA eluent can still leaching down 71.1% of Pb and 63.2% of Zn respectively, which showed the reusable benefits of recycled EDTA eluent. After soils were leached by EDTA, soil quality decline, such as reducing of urease, catalase, invertase activities and microorganism numbers. However, adding 5% nutrition soil or earthworm fertilizer can significantly improve the quality of EDTA leached soil, and promote growth of peas and ryegrass compared with EDTA treatments. Overall, the improvement of EDTA leached soil by adding nutrition soil or earthworm fertilizer is important, and recycled EDTA eluent can recycle and re-use for Pb-Zn contaminated soil remediation.

Coal gangue, a solid waste generated during coal mining and washing processes, has caused significant environmental burdens in China. This study aims to optimize and investigate the leaching mechanisms of heavy metals, such as Pb, Zn, and Cu, in coal gangue. The effectiveness of different eluents in removing heavy metals from coal gangue was evaluated by combining experimental methods with software simulations.

The radiometal gallium-68 (Ga-68) has garnered significant interest due to its convenient production via compact and widely available generators and the high performance of Ga-labeled compounds for positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging for cancer diagnosis and management of patients undergoing targeted radionuclide therapy. Given the short half life of Ga-68 (68 min), microfluidic-based radiosynthesis is a promising avenue to establish very rapid, efficient, and routine radiolabeling with Ga-68; however, the typical elution volume of Ga-68 from a generator (4-10 mL) is incompatible with the microliter reaction volumes of microfluidic devices. To bridge this gap, we developed a microscale cartridge-based approach to concentrate Ga-68.

Cesium removal from aqueous solutions of radioactive waste streams is a challenge in the field of radioactive waste management; this is due to the small atomic radii of Cs metal ions and their high migration ability. So, the development of a withstand system for the removal of Cs is crucial. In the current study, the removal of radioactive cesium from aqueous solutions using an RO-TLC membrane was studied.

The removal of zinc ions (Zn(II)) in water and the separation of zinc isotopes were fully investigated in this study. Imidodiacetic acid (IDA) type adsorbent (named PSGI) based on polystyrene spheres (PS) was synthesized by simultaneous irradiation grafting. By adsorption method, the removal of Zn(II) from water by the chelating adsorbent was studied in batch experiments.

Chitosan was used in this study as the bio-based product for the development of microparticles for the specifically targeted removal of cerium ions (Ce) by ion-imprinting technology. A thiosalicylic hydrazide-modified chitosan (TSCS) is produced via cyanoacetylation of chitosan, followed by hydrazidine derivatization to finally introduce the thiosalicylate chelating units. Ion-imprinted Ce-TSCS sorbent microparticles were prepared by combining the synthesized TSCS with Ce, crosslinking the polymeric Ce/TSCS complex with glutaraldehyde, and releasing the chelated Ce using an eluent solution containing a mixture of EDTA and HNO.
