The rapid growth in nuclear industries such as uranium ores mining, nuclear energy
generation, spent-fuel treatment and nuclear weapon manufacture has caused a legacy of …

Uranium (U) is of enormous global importance because of its use in energy generation,
albeit with potential environmental legacies. While naturally occurring U is widespread in the …

Although minor in abundance in Earth's crust (U, 2–4 ppm; Th, 10–15 ppm) and in seawater
(U, 0.003 ppm; Th, 0.0007 ppm), light actinides (Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, Am, and Cm) are …

The field of uranium carboxylates has been studied for several decades and an important
library of coordination complexes and network solids is now well defined. It mainly concerns …

Actinide-bearing hybrid materials, particularly those constructed from hexavalent uranium,
continue to generate interest in their synthesis, structural characterization, and electronic …

Metal oxide clusters, especially transition-metal polyoxometalates, have been studied for
decades because they provide a rare opportunity to study nanoscale materials with well …

We investigate the adsorption of hexavalent uranium, U (VI), on phosphorylated cellulose
nanofibers (PHO-CNF) and compare the results with those for native and TEMPO-oxidized …

Actinide oxalates are an important class of materials mainly for the nuclear industry. This
review presents the crystal growth methods addressed to non-soluble actinide (III) and (IV) …

Depleted uranium (DU) is generally considered an emerging pollutant, first extensively
introduced into environment in the early nineties in Iraq, during the military operation called …

The skeleton is a target organ for most metals. This leads to their bioaccumulation, either as
storage of useful oligoelements or as a protection against damage by toxic elements. The …
