Highly Efficient Uptake of TcO₄ ^- by Imidazolium-Functionalized Wood Sawdust.

ABSTRACT: ⁹⁹Tc is a radioactive fission product, mainly in the form of TcO₄ ^-, with good solubility and mobility in the environment. The development of effective and inexpensive materials to remove TcO₄ ^- from nuclear industry wastewater or contaminated water is significant. Wood sawdust is a byproduct of the wood processing industry and is an abundant, low-cost, and sustainable material. The mesostructure of wood consists of numerous hollow cells that are joined endwise to form an interconnected channel matrix capable of rapid transfer of ions. Imidazolium-functionalized wood sawdust (IM-WS) was synthesized using natural wood sawdust by a two-step reaction. It has excellent properties of TcO₄ ^-/ReO₄ ^-
