This study explores the effectiveness of radiografted chelating adsorbents for the recovery of rhodium (Rh) from acidic wastewater, focusing on functionalized materials with and without loaded silver (Ag). Platinum group metals (PGMs), particularly Rh, are essential yet rare, necessitating efficient recovery methods from industrial waste. Rh exhibits complex chemistry in acidic environments, often complicating its extraction and recovery. Traditional methods such as solvent extraction and ion exchange adsorption have limitations, prompting the development of alternative recovery methods. The adsorption efficiency of these materials was evaluated in a wide range of hydrochloric acid (HCl) concentrations, both in static and dynamic conditions. Radiotracer
