PAACAN/ZnO, and poly Acrylic acid-co-Maleic acid/ZnO, PAACMA/ZnO, nancomposites
were synthesized using 60Co γ-rays. PAACAN/ZnO and PAACMA/ZnO nanocomposites
were characterized and used as sorbents for 60Co (II) radionuclide. The monolayer
adsorption capacities of 60Co (II) onto PAACMA/ZnO and PAACAN/ZnO are 18.235, 7.105
mgg− 1, respectively at pH 4.5 and 20° C. The sorption reaction has a pseudo 2nd order …
