Abstract

Abstract : Functionalized aerogels and xerogels are demonstrated for use in the removal of contaminants from aqueous and gaseous streams, including species such as halides, noble gases, actinides, lanthanides, alkalis, and alkaline earths that could pose environmental and health concerns if not captured and contained properly. In article number 2000013 Brian J. Riley and co‐workers provides a progress report of the current state of the art in this area.
