Abstract The article describes a technique for processing liquid radioactive waste water using membrane techniques to single out only radioactive waste components without affecting the salt ballast. This solution dramatically reduces the amount of radioactive concentrates to be long-term storage‚ and provides an opportunity to re-use treated water and chemicals. Keywords. Liquid radioactive waste‚ radioactive waste water purification‚ reverse osmosis‚ selective extraction of radionuclides. Introduction

WHAT IS ARSENIC Arsenic is a chemical element with symbol As and atomic number 33. Arsenic occurs in many minerals‚ usually in conjunction with sulfur and metals‚ and also as a pure elemental crystal. The main use of metallic arsenic is for strengthening alloys of copper and especially lead (for example‚ in car batteries). Arsenic is a common n-type dopant in semiconductor electronic devices‚ and the optoelectronic compound gallium arsenide is the most common semiconductor in use after doped silicon
