“…The presence of monovalent and bivalent salts (∼3 × 10 5 mg/L of Na + ) in the leach liquor contributes to the inadequate uranium precipitation. Numerous studies on U-capture techniques, such as adsorption, coprecipitation, biotic reduction, ion-exchange, membrane separation (ultrafiltration for americium removal), and biosorption, have been reported by various researchers. − Due to the efficiency, scalability, ease of operation, and potential regeneration and reusability, adsorption is considered a promising technique to adsorb U from aqueous solution as well as real-life alkaline leach liquor. , Organometallics, biomass, polymer adsorbents, − metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and porous organic polymers (POPs) are the most regularly used adsorbents to capture U from the actual alkaline solution. , Some photocatalytic reduction methods are also available in the literature to capture uranium from aqueous solutions. , In alkaline leach liquor, U is present as a carbonate complex (such as, [UO 2 (CO 3 ) 2 ] 2– and [UO 2 (CO 3 ) 3 ] 4– ) with low concentration (3.2 ppb), in the presence of other coexisting ions. ,− Thus, U removal from such liquor is quite challenging, and exceptional selectivity of the adsorbent is a prerequisite. Acrylamide-based polymeric adsorbents are widely used due to their excellent selectivity for adsorption of UO 2 2+ .…”
