Efficient removal of hazardous materials from the environment has become an important
issue from a biological and environmental standpoint. Adsorptive removal of toxic …

Metal sulfide ion-exchangers (MSIEs) represent a new addition to the field of ion exchange
materials. This is a growing class of materials that display exceptional selectivity and rapid …

The MoS42–ion was intercalated into magnesium–aluminum layered double hydroxide
(MgAl NO3-LDH) to produce a single phase material of Mg0. 66Al0. 34 (OH) 2 (MoS4) …

Highly effective and highly efficient decontamination of mercury from aqueous media
remains a serious task for public health and ecosystem protection. Here we report that this …

Uranium is important in the nuclear fuel cycle both as an energy source and as radioactive
waste. It is of vital importance to recover uranium from nuclear waste solutions for further …

Free-standing, accessible thiol (− SH) functions have been installed in robust, porous
coordination networks to provide wide-ranging reactivities and properties in the solid state …

Uranium is the main source for nuclear energy but also one of the most toxic heavy metals.
The current methods for uranium removal from water present limitations, such as narrow pH …

The discovery of new materials and their efficient syntheses is a fundamental goal of
chemistry. A related objective is to identify foundational and rational approaches to enhance …

The fission of uranium produces radionuclides, 137Cs and 90Sr, which are major
constituents of spent nuclear fuel. The half-life of 137Cs and 90Sr is nearly 30 years and …

137Cs and 90Sr, both byproducts of the uranium and plutonium fission processes, make up
the majority of high-level waste from nuclear power plants. 63Ni is a byproduct of the erosion …
