Abstract
Layered titanate nanofibers can absorb bivalent ions from waste water via an ion exchange process. The sorption induces a considerable deformation of the layered structure, thus trapping the cations in the fibers permanently. Therefore, the fibers are desirable sorbents for the removal of toxic, radioactive Ra(2+) and Sr(2+) ions from water and subsequent safe disposal thereof.
