Irradiation-enhanced selective separation of actinides and lanthanides using graphene oxide
摘要
Research on the selective separation of graphene oxide (GO) for actinides under irradiation is of significant importance for safeguarding the sustainable development of nuclear energy. Herein, adsorption performance of GO for actinides and lanthanides under gamma irradiation was investigated in detail, the results suggested that irradiation-induced reduction of GO could enhanced the adsorption selectivity of GO for actinides. When ethanol was introduced for promoting the irradiation reduction of GO, adsorption selectivity was enhanced furtherly. This work provided a novel strategy for the selective separation of actinides and lanthanides using GO as adsorbent.
