Popis: TiO2 is supported on silica gel surface (TiO2(0.5)/SiO2(0.5) composite) by physical mixing technique of TiO2 and silica gel with mole ratio 1:1.329 TiO2(0.5)/SiO2(0.5) composite characterized by physico-chemical techniques; (SEM), (FT-IR), (DTA-TG), porosity measurements, and X-ray diffraction and used as a sorbent for 134Cs and 60Co radionuclides from aqueous solutions. Optimization of the parameters affecting sorption process is studied. The saturation sorption capacity of TiO2(0.5)/SiO2(0.5) composite towards 134Cs at pH 9.5 and 60Co at pH 5.5 are 33.1 and 17.7 m g g-1, respectively. The adsorption reaction mechanism is applicable with Freundlich isotherm and the process is spontaneous and favorable.
