Abstract
The approaches to production of chitosan-containing composites designed to remove radionuclides from aqueous solutions were considered in this review. Methods for obtaining chitosan-based sorbents for the removal of metals, the main sources of radioactive contamination (U, Sr, Cs), are described. The efficiency of using a biopolymer for these purposes is significantly increased as a result of physical or chemical modification, as well as the introduction of inorganic fillers. From the sorbents which were considered, the cheapest and most effective Sr and Cs materials for sorption are highlighted and simplified schemes for their production are given. The main purpose of this review is to provide up-to-date information on the most important properties of composites in combination with inorganic fillers and to show their advantages as sorbents in the purification of contaminated aqueous solutions.
