A novel strontium-based MOF: synthesis, characterization, and promising application in removal of ^152+154Eu from active waste.

ABSTRACT: Removal of hazardous radioactive materials such as ^152+154Eu from active waste using the batch approach has attracted attention nowadays. In this work, a novel melamine-terephthalic strontium metal-organic framework (MTSr-MOF) was prepared via a hydrothermal method. The MTSr-MOF was characterized by various analytical techniques such as FT-IR, ¹H/¹³C-NMR, mass spectroscopy, XPS, XRD, TGA, BET, FE-SEM/EDX, TEM, and UV. The obtained data revealed that MTSr-MOF exhibited brick-like building blocks that were bridged together by the linkers, and each block had a thickness of ∼120 nm. The BET surface area was 74.04 m² g^-1. MTSr-MOF was used for the removal of ^152+154Eu radionuclides from active waste. Further functionalizat
