“…Uranium is used in the nuclear fuel industry (Hore-Lacy, 2016) and it can be applied in electronic industries, semiconductors (Adamska et al, 2015;Bacci et al, 1989), catalysis (Amrute et al, 2013;Dong et al, 2015) and alloys (Ahn et al, 2016;Ghoshal et al, 2014). Given the importance of uranium, many chemical methods have been utilized for the recovery and separation of uranium such as solvent extraction (Ahn et al, 2016;Dartiguelongue et al, 2016;Zhu et al, 2016;Ghoshal et al, 2014), ionic exchange resins, (Chen et al, 2016;Ogden et al, 2017), adsorption over modified adsorbent (Gajowiak et al, 2013;Grabias et al, 2013), liquid emulsion membrane (Biswas et al, 2012;El Sayed, 2003), chelating resin (Donia et al, 2009;Ilaiyaraja et al, 2017), ion inclusion membranes (Kolev et al, 2013;St John et al, 2012) and AC sorption (Afsari et al, 2012;Yakout et al, 2013).…”
