Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description The metal selectivity properties of the ligands when immobilized on silica are markedly modified compared to their properties in solution.
Exploitation Route Potential use of the immobilized systems in land remediation, legacy nuclear waste clean-up and precious metal extraction and separation.
