Nanocarbon Materials as New Generation Bio-Sorbents for the Extraction of Trace Uranium from Aqueous Media
摘要
Abstract
This study investigates the chemical structure and U-238 sorption properties of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) synthesized from tree bark via self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The CNM samples were found to be microporous adsorbents with unique characteristics, including high paramagnetic center (PMC) concentrations and biologically active elements such as Ca and Mg. The materials demonstrated effective extraction of trace uranium from aqueous media, supporting their potential development as new enterosorbent agents.
