In this study, nano-sized particles of manganese oxyhydroxide (MnO(OH)) are synthesized. Sorption properties of this material towards 90 Sr and 137 Cs radionuclides in the pH range from 2 to 9 at a temperature of 293.15 K solution are studied. The time of sorption achievement equilibrium in the radionuclide sorbent system depends on the nature of sorbed cation, but does not exceed 60 min.
