Radionuclides in the environment is an important issue, many techniques have been developed for the removal of radionuclides from the environment. One of those techniques is the adsorption and natural and synthesized materials have been used to remove different radionuclides from water. The adsorbents used for removal of radionuclides should have high retention capacity and they should be resistant to radiation. One of the natural materials used is the zeolites due to its high ion exchange capacities, adsorption efficiency, resistance to radiation and abundance. The present review describes the advances made on radioactive waste treatments using zeolites as adsorbents, the elements: cesium, strontium, cobalt, molybdenum, uranium, plutonium, americium, samarium, and europium were selected according to their nuclear importance and their presence in the environment. Firstly, a brief description of the zeolites is given and then a review on the separation of these radionuclides from water by using zeolites is presented.

环境中的放射性核素是一个重要的问题，已经开发了许多用于从环境中去除放射性核素的技术。这些技术之一是吸附，天然和合成材料已用于从水中去除不同的放射性核素。用于去除放射性核素的吸附剂应具有较高的保留能力，并且应耐辐射。由于其高的离子交换能力，吸附效率，抗辐射性和丰度，使用的天然材料之一是沸石。本综述描述了使用沸石作为吸附剂进行放射性废物处理的进展，这些元素包括：铯，锶，钴，钼，铀，p 、,、,、和是根据其核重要性和它们在环境中的存在而选择的。首先，对沸石进行了简要描述，然后对使用沸石从水中分离这些放射性核素进行了综述。
