Adsorption of trivalent lanthanides by marine sediments
Liatsou, Ioanna; Efstathiou, Maria; Pashalidis, Ioannis (2015)The interaction of Eu(III) with two different types of marine sediments has been investigated as a function of various parameters (e.g. pH, [Eu(III)]o, I, humic acid) to evaluate their effect on the Eu(III) adsorption. The ...

Adsorptive removal of U(VI) and Th(IV) from aqueous solutions using polymer-based electrospun PEO/PLLA fibrous membranes
Savva, Ioanna; Efstathiou, Maria; Krasia‐Christoforou, Theodora; Pashalidis, Ioannis (2013)Fibrous membranes based on poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(l-lactide) fabricated by electrospinning were evaluated for the first time as substrates for the adsorption of tetravalent thorium (Th(IV)) and hexavalent uranium ...

A comparative study of the adsorption of uranium on commercial and natural (Cypriot) sea sand samples
Efstathiou, Maria; Pashalidis, Ioannis (2013)The adsorption of hexavalent uranium on two different types of sea sand [e.g. a local, Cypriot (N-SS) and a commercially available marine sediment (C-SS)] has been investigated as a function of pH, initial metal concentration, ...

A comparative study on the sorption of tri- and hexavalent actinides on sea sediments
Efstathiou, Maria; Pashalidis, Ioannis (2017)The interaction of tri- and hexavalent actinides with local, Cypriot marine sediments has been investigated as a function of initial metal concentration, before and after “coating” with natural organic matter. Evaluation ...

Determination of uranium concentration in ground water samples of Northern Greece
Samaropoulos, I.; Efstathiou, Maria; Pashalidis, Ioannis; Ioannidou, Alexandra (2012)The activity concentration of 238U and 234U has been determined in groundwater samples of hot springs and deep wells from the region of Northern Greece. The analysis was performed by alpha spectroscopy after pre-concentration ...

Article
Simplified determination of uranium in contaminated sea sand samples by alpha-spectroscopy after acidic desorption and liquid–liquid extraction
Efstathiou, Maria; Pashalidis, Ioannis (2015)For the determination of uranium in contaminated sea sand samples by alpha-spectroscopy, we have investigated the applicability of different pre-analytical procedures. The direct electrodeposition after acidic dissolution ...

Article
Uranium analysis in Cypriot groundwaters by total alpha-radiometry and alpha-spectroscopy
Efstathiou, Maria; Kiliari, T.; Pashalidis, Ioannis (2011)Two different alpha-radiometric methods (e.g. alpha-spectroscopy and alpha-particle counting) have been applied to the determination of uranium in Cypriot groundwater samples after separation of the radionuclides by cation ...
