An extraction chromatography resin, prepared by the impregnation of bis-octyloxy-calix[4]arene-mono-crown-6 (BOCMC)onto an acrylic ester based polymeric support material, gave excellent uptake data for the removal of radio-cesium (Cs-137) from nitric acid feed solutions. The weight distribution coefficient (K) value of >300 obtained during the present study at 3 M HNO was the highest reported so far while using a calix-crown-6 based extraction chromatographic resin material. Analogous resin reported previously has yielded a K value <100 at comparable feed conditions.

Cesium-137 (Cs) is one of the radioactive substances that was released into the environment as a result of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Radiocesium exposure is of great concern due to its potential environmental implications. However, research on Cs removal using algae is still limited.

Selective and effective adsorptive removal of radiocesium is of great importance in terms of nuclear waste management and environmental remediation, but is still challenging because of its radioactive and non-complexing nature. Herein, metal hexacyanoferrates (MHCF, M = Cu, Co, or Ni) modified fibrous chitosan was prepared by multiple sequential adsorption and self-assembly approach, and applied for the selective and effective adsorption of Cs. The physically supported MHCF in chitosan fibers showed good crystallinity and stability, and the obtained fibrous composite has high specific surface area (18.

Radiocesium remediation is of great significance for the sustainable development of nuclear energy and ecological protection. It is very challenging for the effective recovery of Cs from aqueous solutions due to its strong radioactivity, solubility and mobility. Herein, the efficient recovery of Cs ions has been achieved by three layered vanadyl oxalatophosphates, namely (NH)[(VO)(HPO)CO]·5 HO (NVPC), Na[(VO)(HPO)CO]·2 HO (SVPC), and K[(VO)(HPO)(PO)(CO)]·4.

Cs with strong radioactivity and a long half-life is highly hazardous to human health and the environment. The efficient removal of Cs from complex solutions is still challenging because of its high solubility and easy mobility and the influence of interfering ions. It is highly desirable to develop effective scavengers for radiocesium remediation.
