| abstract |
The invention relates to a thermosensitive compound having the property of being soluble in water below a critical temperature Tc and insoluble in water above this temperature Tc, this property being thermoreversible, characterized in that it comprises a first amphiphilic and thermoreversible part comprising a group derived from a nonionic surfactant exhibiting a cloud point in aqueous solution, this first part being chemically bonded to a second part capable of complexing a chemical species. This compound can be used for extract a chemical species such as uranium. |
