“…Researchers have made numerous efforts to explore various approaches for extracting uranium including: ion exchange ( Foster et al, 2020 ; Chen et al, 2022 ), chemical precipitation ( Burns et al, 2016 ), solution extraction ( Chen et al, 2018 ), membrane separation ( Hsiue et al, 1989 ) and adsorption technique ( Li et al, 2022 ; Yu et al, 2022 ). Adsorption-based techniques for uranium removal have been considered as one of the facile, economical, and efficient methods and received enormous attention in recent decades ( Yuan et al, 2021 ; Zhu et al, 2023 ). Researchers have proven adsorption being an efficient method for the extraction of many other rare and precious metals including Pd(II) ( Li et al, 2023b ; Cheng et al, 2023 ), Ag ( Shao et al, 2023 ) and gold ( Li et al, 2023c ).…”
