title: Bio-sorption of Tl-201 radionuclide on olive pomace.
abstract: This work presents an investigation on the bio-sorption of Tl-201 radionuclide used in nuclear medicine on olive pomace. The experimental parameters were chosen as temperature, the initial pH of the solution, stirring speed, bio-sorbent dose and nominal particle size of bio-sorbent. The initial pH of the solution was found to be the most effective parameter. Thermodynamic analysis gave negative values for ΔG and ΔH. The kinetics of the bio-sorption process fitted very well to the pseudo-second order rate model.
