Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study proposes an ultrasonic treatment method for enhancing the decontamination efficiency of cement waste under the lower acid concentration. The phase transitions and decontamination efficiency of the hydrates and Co nuclides in the cement paste were respectively studied using various concentrations of sulfuric acid. The effect of pre-heating the acid-treated cement paste at 500 ℃ on its phase transition and decontamination efficiency were also studied. The underlying mechanism of the enhanced decontamination efficiency was elucidated by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, laser diffractometry, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Ultrasound-assisted decontamination by 1.0 M H 2 SO 4 was 1.5 times more efficient than non-sonication-assisted decontamination with double the acid concentration (2.0 M H 2 SO 4 ), owing to the detachment of the outer-layer phases of CaSO 4 that obstructed the contact between the acid and the nuclides. The thermally-treated samples showed similar decontamination efficiencies under treatment with high acid concentrations and ultrasonication, due to the vigorous acid reaction kinetics regardless of the thermal decomposition of the hydrates.
