DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Michael Carboni (CEA)\nTransformative technologies a
 re needed in order to achieve economic uranium extraction from waste to ge
 nerate a new fuel or for a safe storage. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)
  are a class of hybrid materials composed of organic bridging ligands coor
 dinated to metal ions or metal ion clusters. The result is the formation o
 f a porous crystalline solid that possess adequate stability in aqueous so
 lution for potential application in U extraction. These materials can sele
 ctively precipitate with a specific metal to extract it or they have large
  pore apertures to facilitate the transport of hydrated actinide\nions thr
 ough the interior of the frameworks for the extraction. In this way pollut
 ants such as actinides can be targeted for selective precipitation as a MO
 F or bind inside the framework by the ligand. This material can be easily 
 recovered by simple filtration or centrifugation and actinide can be store
 d after a thermal treatment of the material to finally generate an origina
 l strategy to combine extraction and storage.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrot
