The present review covers achievements in the development and application of
phosphorous-containing extractants for varios metals. The extractants based on industrial …

Among the various fire‐retardants (FRs) known, phosphorus is vital to the development of
effective FRs due to its flexibility. Additionally, the additives and combinations of phosphorus …

A series of neutral organophosphorus extractants, comprising phosphine oxides,
phosphinates, phosphonates and phosphates with linear and branched alkyl chains have …

Although various kinds of adsorbents have good uranium adsorption capacity, they still meet
the challenge in capturing uranium under highly acidic condition. Therefore, efficiently …

The conventional argument that extraction efficiency depends on the “basicity of the
phosphoryl oxygen” is thoroughly examined in this study. The analysis involves studying the …

The effect of cyclic and aromatic substituents on the complexation behavior of phosphine
oxide ligands with Am (III) and Eu (III) was investigated at density functional theory (DFT) …

The electronic structure and complexation behavior of methyl-substituted phosphinic acids
with U (VI) and Pu (IV) were explored by applying quantum chemical methods. In contrast to …

The development of density functional theory (DFT) has significantly enhanced the use of
computational chemistry as a tool in the design and development of ligands for the …

Reprocessing nuclear-spent fuels is highly demanded for enhanced resource efficacy and
removal of the associated radiotoxicity. The present work elucidates the rapid separation of …

Effective treatment of the transuranic neptunium and plutonium from nuclear waste is of
great importance and remains a challenge for developing advanced nuclear fuel cycles …
