Recent Research Advances in the Application of Deep Eutectic Solvents for the Chemical Processes of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle [PDF]

Molecules
As a new class of green functional liquids, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have attracted increasing attention as alternatives to conventional solvents, such as mineral acids, organic solvents and ionic liquids (ILs), in nuclear chemistry.

Analysis of Cadmium Retention Mechanisms by a Smectite Clay in the Presence of Carbonates

Toxics, 2023
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal with very low permissible exposure limits and is, thus, a very dangerous pollutant for the environment and public health and is considered by the World Health Organisation as one of the ten chemicals of major public ...

High Sorption and Selective Extraction of Actinides from Aqueous Solutions

Molecules, 2021
The selective elimination of long-lived radioactive actinides from complicated solutions is crucial for pollution management of the environment. Knowledge about the species, structures and interaction mechanism of actinides at solid–water interfaces is ...

Use of an Acellular Assay to Study Interactions between Actinides and Biological or Synthetic Ligands

Biomolecules, 2022
Speciation of actinides, and more particularly bioligand-binding ability, influences in vivo behavior. Understanding these interactions is essential for estimation of radiological dose and improvement of decorporation strategies for accidentally ...

Assessment of Various Density Functional Theory Methods for Finding Accurate Structures of Actinide Complexes

Molecules, 2022
Density functional theory (DFT) is a widely used computational method for predicting the physical and chemical properties of metals and organometals. As the number of electrons and orbitals in an atom increases, DFT calculations for actinide complexes ...

Relativistic effects on the chemistry of heavier elements: why not given proper importance in chemistry education at the undergraduate and postgraduate level?

Chemistry Teacher International, 2023
Relativistic effects are important to understand the chemistry of heavier elements across the periodic table (PT). Three important relativistic effects are: contraction of s- and p-orbitals (direct relativistic effect), expansion of d- and f-orbitals ...

Opportunities and challenges of applying advanced X-ray spectroscopy to actinide and lanthanide N-donor ligand systems

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, 2022
N-donor ligands such as n-Pr-BTP [2,6-bis(5,6-dipropyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)pyridine] preferentially bind trivalent actinides (An3+) over trivalent lanthanides (Ln3+) in liquid–liquid separation. However, the chemical and physical processes responsible for
