Uranyl peroxide cluster species were produced in aqueous solution by the treatment of uranyl nitrate with hydrogen peroxide, lithium hydroxide, and potassium chloride. Ultrafiltration of these cluster species using commercial sheet membranes with molecular mass cutoffs of 3, 8, and 20 kDa (based on polyethylene glycol) resulted in U rejection values of 95, 85, and 67% by mass, respectively. Ultrafiltration of untreated uranyl nitrate solutions using these membranes resulted in virtually no rejection of U. These results demonstrate the ability to use the filtration of cluster species as a means for separating U from solutions on the basis of size. Small-angle X-ray scattering, Raman spectroscopy, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of uranyl peroxide cluster species in solution and were used to characterize their size, shape, and dispersity.Keywords: membranes; nanoscale control; nuclear technology; ultrafiltration; uranyl peroxide nanocluster;
