Abstract:Diglycolamic acid-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes
(DGA-MWCNTs)
were augmented onto polysulfone-based polymeric materials for the
efficient separation of two representative trivalent lanthanide and
actinide ions (Eu3+ and Am3+) from the aqueous
acidic streams. The appearance of the carbonyl peak at ∼1665
cm–1 along with the −OH bending band of the
carboxylic acid revealed the successful incorporation of the DGA-MWCNT
onto polysulfone, which was also evidenced by the change in surface
morphology in t… Show more
