Abstract
Clay is one of the most important industrial minerals that have been used to improve the quality of product and economize the production cost. Clay and their minerals, both in its natural and modified forms, have the ability to absorb various radioactive materials from aqueous solution, such as Uranium, Thorium and Caesium as discussed extensively in this review. This article presented an overview of properties and classifications of clay, current research literature on using clay minerals as an absorber, and a descriptive analysis of their adsorption behaviour. Three type of clay are the focused in this review namely Bentonite, Kaolin and Zeolites due to their excellent qualification in absorbing radioactive materials such as Uranium, Thorium and Caesium.
