Effective uranium (U) capture is required for the remediation of contaminated solutes associated with the nuclear fuel cycle, including fuel reprocessing effluents, decommissioning, or nuclear accident cleanup. Here, interactions between uranyl cations (UO ) and a Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) were investigated using two types of uranyl-bearing LDH colloids. The first (ULDH) was synthesized by coprecipitation with 10% of Mg substituted by UO .

Highly selective extraction of uranium from seawater is currently extremely challenging. Although the amidoxime group (HAO) is the commonly used ligand in seawater uranium extraction, it also has strong binding capacity for vanadium ion. It has been shown that the introduction of phosphate groups into amidoxime-based adsorbents can improve the adsorption performance of materials through a synergistic effect between functional groups.

Photocatalytic reduction of uranyl ions (UO) is an environmentally friendly, energy efficient, and highly effective method for uranium-containing wastewater treatment and uranium recovery. Herein, a novel photocatalytic material CH-8 @NNFO-4 with abundant oxygen vacancies was synthesize by growing Ca(OH) on the surface of Fe doped NaNbO in situ. The Ca(OH) synergizes with the oxygen vacancies, creating a microenvironment that narrows the bandgap and extends the light response range.

It is a challenging task to develop uranyl-chelating agents based on peptide chemistry. A recently developed cationic dummy atom model of uranyl in conjunction with the classical molecular dynamics simulation presents a helpful utility to study the chelation of uranyl by peptides with a low computational cost. In the present study, it was used to describe the chelation of uranyl by the cyclic decapeptide with 4 Glu residues cyc-GluArgGluProGlyGluTrpGluProGly and its derivatives containing two phosphorylated serines in place of two Glu, termed pS16, pS18, pS38, and pS68.

Complexation thermodynamics of uranyl ions with well-known reprocessing ligands like tributyl phosphate (TBP) and dihexyl octanamide (DHOA) was studied in an ionic liquid (IL) versus a molecular solvent. Whereas 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide (Bumim·TfN) was used as an IL due to its favorable viscosity, acetonitrile was the choice of molecular solvent due to its poor coordinating nature. Optical spectroscopy studies revealed that UO ions formed species of the types ML and ML with both TBP and DHOA, in a stepwise manner.
