Performance of the PEC uranium extraction method
(A) Time-resolved uranium extraction performance by the PEC method and the PC method.
(B) The current-time plots during PEC U extraction experiments.
(C) Total U extraction efficiencies of different methods after 120 min operation.
(D) The synergy factors of the PEC method at varied bias potentials. Conditions: [U(VI)]0 = 0.05 mM, [NaCl] = 20 mM, natural pH (∼4.2). The error bars represent the standard deviation between replicates.
