Efficient and sustainable separation of metals is gaining increasing attention, because of the
essential roles of many metals in sustainable technologies for a climate-neutral society, such …

A series of functionalized metal organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized by the post-
synthetic modification (PSM) of Zr (IV)-containing UiO-66-NH2 MOFs using covalent grafting …

The extraction performance of traditional acidic phosphate ester extractants (P204 and
P507) will decrease sharply as the aqueous-phase acidity increases. Although …

Despite the extremely favorable properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for
multifunctional applications, the challenge to synthesize MOFs with high chemical, radiation …

A kind of unconventional metal–organic framework (UMOF), hafnium phosphonates (HfP)
with different molar fractions P/(P+ Hf), were synthesized via a template-free, one-pot …

Separation of f-block elements is a daunting task due to their similar chemical behaviour.
Among these, the separation of uranium from a thorium matrix is one of the persisting …

Hydrogen phosphonates are di-esters of phosphonic acids and are widely employed as
ligands for recovery of actinide species from different matrices. An alicyclic hydrogen …

Abstract Two extractants, N, N′-((octylazanediyl) bis (ethane-2, 1-diyl)) dioctanamide (LI)
and N, N′-((octylazanediyl) bis (ethane-2, 1-diyl)) di-2-methylheptanamide (LII), hav e been …

Dialkylhydrogen phosphonates have emerged as potential extractants for extraction and
recovery of actinide species from different environments. The applicability of …

Abstract “Third phase” formation is an aggregation phenomenon that arises due to the
mutual attraction of the polar cores of reverse micelles in a non-polar medium. A major …
