The adsorption properties of Pu(IV), Am(III), Cm(III), and U(VI) on desferrioxamine B-immobilized micropolymeric resin (DMPs) and adsorbed species were elucidated using thermodynamic constants and log β values. This allowed the determination of adsorption characteristics (91, 95, 88, and 97% for Pu(IV), Am(III), Cm(III), and U(VI), respectively) and individual pH-independent adsorption properties. Pu(IV) could be separated from Am(III), Cm(III), and U(VI) at pH 2. The separation of Pu(IV) from Am(III), Cm(III), and U(VI) was achieved by controlling the pH of the solution using a single resin.
