Removal of Nickel-63 Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Chitosan Flakes by M. Zamin, T. Shaheen, M. Ahmed

“…Radiotracer batch equilibrium experiments were undertaken to check the uptake of nickel-63 from aqueous solutions by a natural polymer, i.e. chitosan obtained from fishery wastes (shrimp, crab and prawn shells). The results of kinetic and equilibrium studies showed significant removal of 63 Ni by chitosan with the uptake being pH-dependent. …”
