Isolation of Uranium by Anionic Exchange Resins

چکیده

A separation methodology to isolate natural uranium from its radioactive daughters: Th, Ra, Bi, Pb, Pa and Po, was developed using an only one anion exchange resin and varying concentrations of HCl solutions. Three types of anion exchange resins were tested and the separation process was followed by gamma and alpha spectrometry. Uranium can be quantitatively isolated from its descendants using Dowex 1X8 (20-50 mesh) or Amerlite IRA (100 mesh) resins in three steps: using 4 and 8 mol/L HCl and water to recover uranium. The method is easy, quick, and inexpensive.

Adsorption behavior of cationic and anionic species on chitosan resins possessing amino acid moieties.

Chitosan resins modified with amino acids, such as glycine, valine, leucine, and serine, were synthesized for investigating the adsorption behavior of cationic and anionic species, and showed good abilities for the adsorption of trace elements in aquatic media as follows: glycine for lanthanoids at pH 7, leucine for molybdenum at pH 1-5, serine for uranium at pH 2-7, and amino acids for bismuth...

Evaluation and application of anion exchange resins to measure groundwater uranium flux at a former uranium mill site.

Laboratory tests and a field validation experiment were performed to evaluate anion exchange resins for uranium sorption and desorption in order to develop a uranium passive flux meter (PFM). The mass of uranium sorbed to the resin and corresponding masses of alcohol tracers eluted over the duration of groundwater installation are then used to determine the groundwater and uranium contaminant f...

Uranium Removal from Aqueous Solution Using Ion-Exchange Resin DOWEX® 2x8 in the Presence of Sulfate Anions

The current study was attributed to uranium (VI) ions adsorption using a anion exchanger resin, Dowex®2x8, in the presence of sulfate anions. Evaluation of operational parameters including contact time, pH, initial concentration of uranium ions, and presence of various anions (including phosphate, sulfate, chloride, fluoride, and nitrate) in the solution was assessed on sorption performance of ...

Evaluating ion exchange resin efficiency and oxidative capacity for the separation of uranium(IV) and uranium(VI)

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Previously described methods to separate dissolved U(IV) from dissolved U(VI) under acidic anoxic conditions prior to laboratory analysis were ineffective with materials currently available commercially. Three strong anion exchange resins were examined for their efficiency in separating, recovering, and preserving both redox states during separation. RESULTS Under oxi...

TGR5 potentiates GLP-1 secretion in response to anionic exchange resins

Anionic exchange resins are bona fide cholesterol-lowering agents with glycemia lowering actions in diabetic patients. Potentiation of intestinal GLP-1 secretion has been proposed to contribute to the glycemia lowering effect of these non-systemic drugs. Here, we show that resin exposure enhances GLP-1 secretion and improves glycemic control in diet-induced animal models of "diabesity", effects...
