Composite sorbents based on the nanoparticles of NiO, NiO–TiO 2 and ZrO 2 –TiO 2 embedded in polyacrylonitrile were chosen for the treatment of spent decontamination solutions based on citric acid. Active oxidic materials were prepared by photoinduced synthesis (NiO, NiO–TiO 2 ) or hydrolytic method...
