Summary

The increasing concern towards protection of the environment, energy saving and optimisation of a wide range of industrial processes in both nuclear and non-nuclear fields imposes the need for the development of advanced separation techniques in particular for liquid wastes and effluents. Taking into account the recent advances in the synthesis of new organic functions which are bound to significantly improve both separation efficiency and selectivity for a wide range of nuclides and chemical species, this paper reviews those areas where the application of these new products would be highly desirable.
