Title: Synthesis and Characterization of Templated Ion Exchange Resins for the Selective Complexation of Actinide Ions

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/828416· OSTI ID:828416

The purpose of this research is to develop polymeric extractants for the selective complexation of uranyl ions (and subsequently other actinyl and actinide ions) from aqueous solutions. Selectivity for a specific actinide ion will be obtained by providing the polymers with cavities lined with complexing ligands so arranged as to match the charge, coordination number, coordination geometry, and size of the actinide ion. These cavity containing polymers will be produced by using a specific actinide ion (or surrogate) as a template around which monomeric complexing ligands will be polymerized. The polymers will provide useful sequestering agents for removing actinide ions from wastes a
