CBRN decontamination, surface tension, surfactant, effectiveness, Wolfram Mathematica, radioactive contaminationAbstract
A comparative analysis of non-ionic, anionic, and cationic surfactants was conducted to evaluate their potential use in the decontamination of radioactive contamination. The study produced both graphical and analytical representations of the relationship between surfactant concentration and surface tension. These findings enable precise control over the selection and concentration of surfactants in decontamination solutions, optimizing their effectiveness for specific application.
