Abstract
The invention relates to an organic-inorganic hybrid material which comprises an inorganic solid support on which are grafted organic molecules of the general formula (I) hereafter: and relates to methods allowing preparation of this hybrid material as well as to the uses of the hybrid material for extracting uranium(VI) from an aqueous medium comprising phosphoric acid.
Claims20
An organic-inorganic hybrid material, which comprises an inorganic solid support on which is covalently grafted a plurality of organic molecules of formula (I):
- wherein:
- x, y and z are equal to 0 or 1, with the proviso that at least one of x, y and z is equal to 1;
- m is an integer ranging from 1 to 6;
- v and w are equal to 0 or 1, with the proviso that v is equal to 1 when w is equal to 0 and v is equal to 0 when w is equal to 1;
- if x is equal to 0, R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group comprising from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and, if x is equal to 1, R1 represents a group bound to the inorganic solid support through at least one covalent bond represented by the dotted line;
- if y is equal to 0, R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group comprising from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and, if y is equal to 1, R2 represents a group bound to the inorganic solid support through at least one covalent bond represented by the dotted line;
- if z is equal to 0, R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group comprising from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and, if z is equal to 1, R3 represents a group bound to the inorganic solid support through at least one covalent bond represented by the dotted line;
- R4 and R5 represent, independently of each other, a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group comprising from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, or a monocyclic aromatic group.
