Article Synopsis
- The study investigated two methods for extracting uranium and plutonium from solutions using star-like polyacrylamide polymers with a dextran core, focusing on pH levels of 4 and 7.
- In the first method, a polymer was mixed with a radionuclide solution to form complexes that were then filtered using ultrafiltration membranes, while in the second method, the polymer was deposited on the membrane first before filtering.
- The results showed that both methods effectively recovered 99% of uranium and up to 60% of plutonium, with the second approach providing additional benefits by preventing membrane pore collapse and maintaining performance over multiple filtration cycles.
