“…Solvent-impregnated resins (SIRs) that were prepared by incorporating extractants onto polymeric matrix have been widely applied in the fields of separation and purification for metals [1][2][3] and organics [4,5] from aqueous solutions, due to their high selectivity, operational simplicity, and environmental friendliness [6,7], which can be traced back to the pioneering work that was conducted by Warshawsky [8], Grinstead [9], and Kroebel and Meyer [10] in the early 1970s. Thus, the preparation and application of the SIRs in analytical and environmental chemistry, hydrometallurgy, and radiochemistry fields are still intensive research topics [11]. However, there are some problems that are embedded in SIRs, such as time-consuming of the impregnation process for the extractants impregnating onto the macroporous matrix, long time of the adsorption equilibrium and low adsorption capacity of the SIRs for metal ions, which may impede the industrial application of SIRs.…”
