Nanoporous ammonium molybdophosphate–silica hybrids as regenerable ultra-selective extraction agents for radiocesium monitoring†
Abstract
Cesium pre-concentration/separation was investigated using novel ammonium molybdophosphate (AMP)-based adsorbents supported on mesoporous silica (SBA-15). This combination is a viable strategy to produce reusable, highly effective and selective adsorbents to be used for remediation during radiological/nuclear events or radiological monitoring.
