Effective and selective removal of 99TcO4– from aqueous solution is highly desirable for both waste partitioning contamination remediation purposes in the modern nuclear fuel cycle, but significant challenge. We report here a hydrolytically stable radiation-resistant cationic metal–organic framework (MOF), SCU-101, exhibiting extremely fast kinetics, exceptional distribution coefficient, high sorption capacity toward TcO4–. More importantly, this material can selectively remove TcO4–...
99Tc is one of the most problematic fission products in nuclear fuel cycle owing to its large inventory used fuel, long half-life, potential radiation hazard, high environmental mobility major species 99TcO4-, and redox-active nature. Ideally, 99TcO4- should be removed at first stage, when rods are dissolved highly concentrated nitric acid solution, which can substantially reduce interference with solvent extraction process through catalytic redox reactions key actinides diminish chance...
Traditional inorganic X-ray scintillators are designed based on several representative metal ions (e.g., Tl+, Pb2+, Bi3+) with highly emissive nature and high atomic number aiming at the outstanding radiation stopping power. The combination of these two features gives rise to a energy conversion efficiency from visible emission, which is prerequisite for an ideal scintillator currently one major limits further development this field. Inspired by our recent observation intrinsic scintillating...
The first heterobimetallic uranium(IV)/vanadium(III) phosphite compound, Na2UV2(HPO3)6 (denoted as UVP), was synthesized via an in situ redox-active hydrothermal reaction. It exhibits superior hydrolytic and antioxidant stability compared to the majority of structures containing low-valent uranium or vanadium, further elucidated by first-principles simulations, therefore shows potential applications nuclear waste management.
By using specialized extraction chromatography columns, we have developed an innovative approach that effectively separates Lu and Hf from apatite with high yields minimal interference, addressing the challenges associated dating Lu–Hf isochron technique.
