abstract = "Sorption of radioactive 99Tc-pertechnetate onto activated carbon prepared
from pinecones was investigated. The parameters of contact time and Tc-99
concentration were varied. It was established that the sorption half-life, t1/2,
was very short ~ 2.2 min, thus making this sorbent an excellent candidate
for immediate pollution remediation, which is very important in the case of
nuclear accidents. The kinetic data were found to follow closely the pseudosecond-
order (PSO) kinetic model. Boyd model established the sorption
dependence only on film diffusion. The partitioning/distribution coefficient,
Kd, attained was 2729 cm3 g-1. The equilibration time was 3 h at room
temperature (T=298 K).",
