Some zeolites have a strong affinity for particular cations. Clinoptilolite (HEU) is a naturally occurring zeolite which sequesters caesium, and is used by British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) to remove Cs from radioactive waste, exchanging its own Na ions for the radioactive Cs cations. Similarly, zeolite A can be used to recover radioactive strontium. Zeolites were heavily used in the clean up operations after the Chernobyl and Three Mile Island incidents. 

Since 1976, the California Waste Exchange has successfully recycled numerous waste streams. In one year over SO waste streams were recycled that had previously been disposed.

Other good sources of equipment and chemicals are the surplus market and waste exchanges. Dealers in the surplus market can be found in trade publications for the chemical industiy and those industries which use a lot of chemicals. The surplus people buy the chemical stock of defunct businesses, or chemicals no longer wanted by other businesses, and re-sell them. The typical surplus dealer is more concerned with moving his stock than with brown-nosing the feds. A company letterhead and a phone will open the door to most of these people.

Without efficient circulation, failure of the cardiovascular system ensues. " There are many disorders of the cardiovascular...
