Abstract
A source water from Suceava County with a total salt concentration of 493.5 mg/L was analysed, mainly because of the high content of uranium (5.6 mg/L UO2 2+) in the geological formations were it is coming from. In order to reduce the uranium concentration down to 0.1 mg/L, a natural Callovo-Oxfordian clay, a nano-ETS-10 synthetic titanosilicate and Azolla caroliniana Willd. (Pteridophyta) bioaccumulator.
