The amidoxime microgel adsorbent prepared by the invention can be used for selective adsorption and separation of hexavalent uranium in a solution. The specific application method comprises the following steps: at 15-50 ℃, the material is placed in a solution with uranium concentration of 0.1-200mg/L and pH value of 4-9, and after 1-2880min, the adsorption is completed.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
