A new family of high-surface-area polyethylene fiber adsorbents named the AF series was
recently developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The AF series adsorbents …

The world s oceans, where uranium is found quite uniformly at a concentration of 3.3 μgLÀ1,
present an alternative source of uranium to terrestrial mining for nuclear fuel. Environmental …

Uranium recovery from seawater has been investigated for several decades for the purpose
of securing nuclear fuel for energy production. In this study, field column experiments have …
