The development of functional materials for the highly efficient capture of radionuclides,
such as uranium from nuclear waste solutions, is an important and challenging topic. Here …

The treatment and disposal of spent radioactive organic solvents, ie, tributyl phosphate
(TBP) and diluent (such as kerosene, n-dodecane, etc.), produced in the reprocessing of …

Liquid/liquid extraction (LLE) is one of the most industrially relevant separation methods,
successfully leveraging the variable solubility of solutes (or their complexes) between two …

In the well-known PUREX process, tertiary butyl phosphate shows preferential extraction of
UO 2 2+ over Pu 4+, whereas tetraoctyl diglycolamide (TODGA) displays the reverse …

We present evidence that the transition between organic and third phases, which can be
observed in the plutonium uranium reduction extraction (PUREX) process at high metal …

A magnetic metal organic framework was finely tuned by abundant amine groups (Mag MOF-
NH 2) for the purpose of improving the U (VI) removal from solution. The Mag MOF-NH 2 …

Extraction of polar molecules by amphiphilic species results in a complex variety of clusters
whose topologies and energetics control phase behavior and efficiency of liquid–liquid …

We report a molecular dynamics (MD) study of biphasic systems involved in the liquid–liquid
extraction of uranyl nitrate by tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) to hexane, from “pH neutral” or …

Tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) is an important extractant used in the solvent extraction process
for recovering uranium and plutonium from used nuclear fuel. An atomistic molecular …

In numerous reports on selective solid-phase extraction (SPE) of uranium, the extraction of
uranium is generally accepted as a direct coordination of the ligands on the solid matrix with …
