Impact of metal ions and organic ligands on uranium removal properties by zeolitic imidazolate framework materials

U(VI) and Th(IV) recovery using silica beads functionalized with urea- or thiourea-based polymers – Application to ore leachate

“…The sorption of uranium was investigated using different types of sorbents such as ion exchange resins (Ang et al, 2017;Smirnov et al, 2017), chelating resins (Ang et al, 2018;Zidan et al, 2020), mineral sorbents (Gladysz-Plaska et al, 2018;Liao et al, 2019), biosorbents (Dabbagh et al, 2018;Hamza et al, 2021;Nuhanovic et al, 2019;Ozudogru and Merdivan, 2020), biobased char (Ahmed et al, 2021), or iron-based materials (Chen et al, 2017). Composite materials (Liu et al, 2020b;Yilmaz et al, 2020) (Kamal et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2021a;Liu et al, 2021b) (Wang et al, 2021), and metal-organic frameworks (Li et al, 2021) have also retained a great attention requiring frequently complex synthesis methods.…”

Facile preparation of amine -functionalized corn husk derived activated carbon for effective removal of selected heavy metals from battery recycling wastewater

“…The need to mitigate heavy metal pollution from wastewater has necessitated the use of several techniques which includes precipitation ( Zhang and Duan, 2020 ), membrane filtration ( Ercarikci and Alanyalioglu, 2021 ), flocculation ( Liu et al., 2021 ), and adsorption ( Chai et al., 2021 ). Adsorption has proven to be the most preferred removal technique among the techniques mentioned due to its cost effectiveness, fast and highly efficient removal, simple operation, excellent surface area and high efficiency removal ( Li et al., 2022 ).…”

Theory-Guided Design of a Method to Obtain Competitive Balance between U(VI) Adsorption and Swaying Zwitterion-Induced Fouling Resistance on Natural Hemp Fibers

“…Uranium (VI) (U(VI)) in seawater is an alternative resource for nuclear energy due to the consequences of the rapidly growing discrepancy between production of and demand for U(VI), as well as the depletion of U(VI) ores projected for in the next century [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Fortunately, representing an unconventional uranium source, the oceans contain about 4.5 billion metric tons of U(VI) [ 4 , 5 ].…”
