Bis‐Catecholamide‐Based Materials for Uranium Extraction

Abstract

What prompted you to investigate this topic/problem?Uranium extraction from unconventional resources like in seawater constitutes an important secondary source of uranium as well as a challenge considering the complexity of this media. Therefore, it appears challenging to propose efficient solution and solid-liquid extraction is one of the most promising processes for this purpose. Only Japanese, Chinese and Americans had proposed U extraction processes on the use of resin and that to our knowledge, Europe and France in particular had not so far proposed and investigated organic materials to meet this challenge.
