Abstract
Graft copolymers that possess ionic characters were prepared by radiation g rafting of acrylic acid onto polyethylene and fluorinated polymers followed by chemical treatments. Thermal stability, mechanical and ion exchange pro perties of the grafted and alkali-treated membranes were studied. The selec tivity of the prepared membranes towards the adsorption of different metals from a simulated waste solution has been studied. The feasibility of zirco nium separation from solution containing uranium was also investigated. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
