More than 1000× uranium exists in the oceans than exists in terrestrial ores. With nuclear
power generation expected to increase over the coming decades, access to this …

The use of functional polymers for the sorption of metallic species in water was widely
practiced in treatment processes. Such sorbents offered the possibility to remove a large …

This study identifies how the amidoximate anion, AO, interacts with the uranyl cation,
UO22+. Density functional theory calculations have been used to evaluate possible binding …

Polyhydroxamic acid sorbent was synthesized by polymerization of acrylamide using N, N′-
methylene-bis-acrylamide as crosslinker and ammonium per sulphate as a thermal initiator …

In this paper, amidoxime functionalized cellulose (AOFC) derivatives have been synthesized
by a two step approach and characterized. Firstly, cyanoethyl cellulose (CEC) was …

Functional residues of hydroxamic acid render the organic molecule amenable to the
formation of chelates with a wide range of metals especially those classed as transition …

A magnetic nanocomposite of zero valent iron (ZVI)/poly (amidoxime)(PAO) was prepared
by polymerization of acrylonitrile on the ZVI surface, followed by hydroxylamine (NH2OH) …

Uranium-and iron-containing waste simulated effluent has been treated sequentially with a
novel resin, viz., polyacrylamide hydroxamic acid (PAAHA). The motivation is to investigate …

A novel sorbent, poly-acryl hydroxamic acid was prepared in-house from acrylamide
monomer by solution polymerization method. Surface morphology and energy dispersive X …

Hydroxamic acids (HAs) and poly (hydroxamic acids)(PHAs) are versatile organic
compounds with broad applications in science and industry. This review explores their …
