Background
Radioactive wastes are generated during nuclear fuel cycle operation, production and
application of radioisotope in medicine, industry, research, and agriculture, and as a
byproduct of natural resource exploitation, which includes mining and processing of ores,
combustion of fossil fuels, or production of natural gas.
Liquid radioactive wastes are generally treated by one or more of these processes for
radionuclide removal:
• Filtration
• Demineralization
• Adsorption
• Evaporation
• Phase separation
• Reverse osmosis
Ultrasonic Radiation (Sonication)
Acoustic Cavitation
When liquids that contains solids are irradiated with ultrasound, related phenomena can
occur [1,2].
