Bergeron, R J; Navratil, J D

The catecholamide ''H'' shaped ligands show excellent promise as actinide chelators for environmental and human decontamination. Greater than 99% of the plutonium in an aqueous buffer solution was removed in a single pass. Additionally, 38% of the plutonium was removed from plutonium spike blood plasma in a single contact. Future studies will evaluate the performance of the ligands for actinide removal from waste water and plutonium clearance studies from animals. 1 fig., 2 tabs.
