Abstract Uranium is an essential element in nuclear industry with the largest amount present in sea water. Also it is one of the most toxic heavy metals present on earth. Considering this, many adsorbents have been developed for uranium extraction with each having its merits and demerits. This review discusses the application of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as sorbent for uranium, challenges associated and the present status. A glimpse about the difficulties associated with uranium extraction from sea water will also be discussed. The review also focuses on the gaps needs to be filled and the future perspective of these materials for the said purpose.

用于从海水中回收铀的磁性纳米粒子：从研究到开发的挑战

摘要 铀是核工业中必不可少的元素，在海水中含量最多。它也是地球上毒性最强的重金属之一。考虑到这一点，已经开发了许多用于提取铀的吸附剂，每种吸附剂都有其优点和缺点。本综述讨论了磁性纳米粒子 (MNP) 作为铀吸附剂的应用、相关挑战和现状。还将讨论与从海水中提取铀相关的困难的一瞥。审查还侧重于需要填补的空白以及这些材料用于上述目的的未来前景。
