Biosorption is a technique that can be used for the removal of pollutants from waters,
especially those that are not easily biodegradable such as metals and dyes. A variety of …

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 …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently been receiving increasing attention in
various scientific fields, including nuclear industry, due to their unique properties. In this …

A software package for the analysis of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data is
presented. This package is based on the IFEFFIT library of numerical and XAS algorithms …

The kinetics of the hydrogen oxidation and evolution reactions (HOR/HER) of platinum in
aqueous solutions remains elusive, partly because of the lack of means to explore the …

Efficient nuclear waste treatment and environmental management are important hurdles that
need to be overcome if nuclear energy is to become more widely used. Herein, we …

Uranium is not only a strategic resource for nuclear power but also a highly toxic
contaminant in the environment. Although a series of traditional capturing materials …

This chapter focuses mainly on the basic principles and methods of X‐ray absorption near
edge structure and extended X‐ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy of soils, minerals …

The bio-nanocomposites of fungus-Fe 3 O 4 were successfully synthesized using a low-cost
self-assembly technique. SEM images showed uniform decoration of nano-Fe 3 O 4 …

Although solid-phase extraction is a useful approach for metal ion separation from aqueous
solutions, existing sorbents suffer from low extraction efficiencies and/or instability when in …
