The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of uranium speciation using vibrational
spectroscopy methods including Raman and IR. Uranium is a naturally occurring …

The row of 15 chemical elements from Ac to Lr with atomic numbers from 89 to 103 are
known as the actinides, which are all radioactive. Among them, uranium and plutonium are …

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 …

Rapidly increasing development of nuclear power stimulates the exploration of low-cost and
highly efficient materials to selectively remove uranium (VI) from contaminated wastewater …

The relatively low density of functional groups of graphene oxide (GO) and the difficulty to
completely recover after adsorption limit its application in uranium (U (VI)) removal from …

Highly efficient removal of U (VI) from uranium-containing wastewaters is urgently needed
with the global nuclear energy exploitation. Herein, we design a large-scale fabrication of …

Elimination of U (VI) from polluted solutions is important for human health and environmental
safety. In this work, a relatively low-cost 3D flower-like phosphate-functionalized layered …

Groundwater uranium (U) concentrations have been measured above the US EPA
maximum contaminant level (30 μg/L) in many US aquifers, including in areas not …

The development of efficient adsorbents is critical for the removal of uranium from aqueous
solution. In this study, lamellar hydroxyapatite (HAP) was synthesized and further …

The effluents from nuclear mining processes contain relatively high content of radionuclides
(such as uranium), which may seriously threaten the environment and human health …
