Liquid–liquid extraction is the major technique being applied for the partitioning of f-
elements from nuclear waste. In this review, the recent developments in ligand design …

NdFeB permanent magnets have different life cycles, depending on the applications: from as
short as 2–3 years in consumer electronics to 20–30 years in wind turbines. The size of the …

The selective separation of thorium from rare earth elements and uranium is a critical part of
the development and application of thorium nuclear energy in the future. To better …

Separation of actinides from lanthanides is of great importance for the safe management of
nuclear waste and sustainable development of nuclear energy, but it represents a huge …

Prior to the year 2000, non‐aqueous uranium chemistry mainly involved metallocene and
classical alkyl, amide, or alkoxide compounds as well as established carbene, imido, and …

This review summarises the methods currently available to extract radioactive actinide
elements from solutions of spent nuclear fuel. This separation of actinides reduces the …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

The high level waste (HLW) generated during spent nuclear fuel reprocessing contains
unextracted U, Pu, a bulk of minor actinides such as Am, Np, Cm, and a host of fission …

The synthesis, lanthanide complexation, and solvent extraction of actinide (III) and
lanthanide (III) radiotracers from nitric acid solutions by a phenanthroline-derived …

Heavy metal ions, especially in water sources, are a critical issue for human health and the
ecosystem. Generally, industrial effluents are the most critical origins in the contamination of …
