| Abstract |
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is a main mineral constituent of bone and tooth and has an outstanding biocompatibility. HAP is a possible sorbent for heavy metals in wastewater due to its high adsorption capacity and low water solubility. We developed a removal system of (90)Sr from aqueous solution by HAP column procedure. More than 90 % of (90)Sr was adsorbed and removed from the (90)Sr containing solution. Divalent cations, Ca(2+), had little effect on the removal of (90)Sr up to a concentration of 1 mmol L(-1). This clearly indicates that the HAP column technique is advantageous with respect to the capacity to adsorb (90)Sr from water present in the environment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 August 2015.
All research outputs
#4,043,787
of 23,906,448 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry
#64
of 1,142 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#49,181
of 267,472 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry
#2
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,906,448 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,142 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 267,472 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
