Sulfate Separation from Aqueous Alkaline Solutions by Selective Crystallization of Alkali Metal Coordination Capsules Arbin Rajbanshi Bruce A. Moyer Radu Custelcean 10.1021/cg200515w.s001 https://acs.figshare.com/articles/dataset/Sulfate_Separation_from_Aqueous_Alkaline_Solutions_by_Selective_Crystallization_of_Alkali_Metal_Coordination_Capsules/2632959 Self-assembly of a tris(urea) anion receptor with Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> or K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> yields crystalline capsules held together by coordinating Na<sup>+</sup> or K<sup>+</sup> cations and hydrogen-bonding water bridges, with the sulfate anions encapsulated inside urea-lined cavities. The sodium-based capsules can be selectively crystallized in excellent yield from highly competitive aqueous alkaline solutions (∼6 M Na<sup>+</sup>, pH 14), thereby providing for the first time a viable approach to sulfate separation from nuclear wastes. 2011-07-06 00:00:00 sulfate anions encapsulated sulfate separation Sulfate Separation Selective Crystallization Na 2SO capsule K 2SO yields Aqueous Alkaline Solutions
