Selective separation of Y(III) from Sr(II) using hybrid polymer: synthesis, characterization, batch and column study

In the present work, poly(acrylamide-acrylic acid)-SiO2, p(AM-AA)-SiO2, was made with a template polymerization technique induced by gamma irradiation as an initiator under an irradiation dose of 60.00 kGy. The produced hybrid polymer was investigated using different techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and was applied for the...
