The concentrations of U in natural waters are usually low, being typically less than 4 μg/L in
river water, around 3.3 μg/L in open seawater, and usually less than 5 μg/L in groundwater …

Uranyl ions U (VI), are the common by-product of nuclear power plants and anthropogenic
activities like mining, excess utilization of fertilizers, oil industries, etc. Its intake into the body …

Uranium (U) is of enormous global importance because of its use in energy generation,
albeit with potential environmental legacies. While naturally occurring U is widespread in the …

The adsorption mechanism of U (VI) and Eu (III) on carbonaceous nanofibers (CNFs) was
investigated using batch, IR, XPS, XANES, and EXAFS techniques. The pH-dependent …

The adsorption and desorption of U (VI) on graphene oxides (GOs), carboxylated GOs
(HOOC-GOs), and reduced GOs (rGOs) were investigated by batch experiments, EXAFS …

The HNO 3 treatment was used to chemically modify the biochars produced from wheat
straw (WH) and cow manure for U (VI) removal from aqueous solution. Macroscopic …

Herein, a practical and simple calcination method was used to synthesize layered double
oxides (denoted as LDO) and layered double oxides/carbon dots nanocomposites (denoted …

A total of 92 samples of street dust were collected in Luanda, Angola, were sieved below
100μm, and analysed by ICP-MS for 35 elements after an aqua-regia digestion. The …

Single-layered graphene oxide (GO) prepared by the Hummers method was used to adsorb
U (VI) ions from aqueous solutions. The U (VI) sorption was studied as a function of solution …

Although minor in abundance in Earth's crust (U, 2–4 ppm; Th, 10–15 ppm) and in seawater
(U, 0.003 ppm; Th, 0.0007 ppm), light actinides (Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, Am, and Cm) are …
