Effective uranium(<scp>vi</scp>) sorption from alkaline media using bi-functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles

Abstract

A bi-functionalized magnetic iron oxide composite has been employed for uranium(<sc>vi</sc>) sorption from alkaline media. The maximum sorption capacity was observed at pH 9.0 with a capacity of 70.7 mg g⁻¹at<italic>c</italic>_U(vi)initial= 21.7 mg L⁻¹.
