Sodium niobate (NaNb6O16) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the niobate family, characterized by a layered crystal structure that gives it unique ion-exchange and sorption properties. This material is primarily investigated in research and pilot-scale applications for nuclear waste remediation, particularly the selective removal of radioactive cesium and strontium isotopes from aqueous streams, as well as in ion-exchange separation processes. Its notable advantage over conventional zeolites and other ceramics lies in its high selectivity and capacity for specific radionuclides, making it valuable in environmental remediation and nuclear fuel cycle management where conventional alternatives prove insufficient.
