In this investigation, TpPa-1 were synthesized and exploited for radionuclides ions elimination. According to Langmuir model, at pH 6.5 and 298 K, the maximum adsorption quantity of TpPa-1 were 1194.07 mg(U(VI))/g and 1107.63 mg(Eu(III))/g, respectively. The superior adsorption performance could be attributed to: (i) a great quantity of heteroatom activated sites on the pore wall could conduct as cation receptors; (ii) the forming intramolecular C N … H … O hydrogen bonding in the network of TpPa-1, which was U(VI) and Eu(III) ions adsorption sites; (iii) hydrogen bonding could adjust the electron density of the complex and abate the total charge of radionuclides. The outcomes of this work suggest that TpPa-1 is a promising adsorbent, which is appropriate to enrichment and separation radionuclides from polluted wastewater.

It is of great strategic value for the recovery of uranium resources in seawater. In this work, Fe 3 S 4 /Fe 7 S 8 was synthesized by hydrothermal method to extract the radioactive nuclides of U(Ⅵ). Results of batch experiment discovered that Fe 3 S 4 /Fe 7 S 8 exhibited good U(Ⅵ) removal performance in a wide pH response range, and also had satisfactory selectivity towards uranyl ions even in the presence of co-existing ions (such as K + , Na + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Cl - , SO 4 2- ). At the temperature of 25°C and pH of 9, the adsorption achieved equilibrium after 120 min with the maximum adsorption capacity of 257.07 mg/g. In addition, the 5 successive adsorption-regeneration experiment and the real seawater experiment of trace U(Ⅵ) adsorption implied that Fe 3 S 4 /Fe 7 S 8 had outstanding reusability and practical application potential in U(Ⅵ) extraction. XRD results showed that the magnetic adsorbent was composed of Fe 3 S 4 and Fe 7 S 8 , with a high crystallinity and stable structure. The ratio of iron to sulfur was close to 7:8 according to semi-quantitative results of SEM-EDS . Further characterization analysis of FTIR and XPS revealed that the removal mechanism of Fe 3 S 4 /Fe 7 S 8 towards U(Ⅵ) mainly included the complexation of S(-Ⅱ), and the reduction of S 2− , S 2 2- and Fe(Ⅱ).

P -carboxyphenyl azo calix[4]arene phosphate derivative (P-CACPD) was successfully synthesized using calix[4]arene as raw material. The P-CACPD was characterized by FT-IR and 1 H-NMR. The effects of pH, extraction time and temperature on the extraction of U(VI) by P-CACPD were investigated. The results show that pH value, extraction time and temperature have an effect on the extraction of U(VI) by P-CACPD. When the initial pH is 5, temperature is 25 °C, extraction time is 2 h, the extraction rate of U(VI) by P-CACPD reaches the maximum. Both kinetics parameters and thermodynamic parameters of the extraction process were calculated. The calculated data indicate that the extraction process of uranium by P-CACPD is an exothermic spontaneous process, which well fits with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Herein, using dialdehyde waste paper (DAWP) as a cross-linking agent to immobilize persimmon tannin (PT) was first used to remove the U(VI) and Cr(VI) via the “waste control by waste” concept. The microscopic and macroscopic surface properties of the as-prepared adsorbent was characterized by the advanced characterization techniques. Factors that affected the elimination process such as variable pH, coexistence ions and equilibrium time were investigated by batch techniques. The results showed that the maximal removal capacities of U(VI) and Cr(VI) on DAWP-PT were 242.3 mg/g (pH = 6.0) and 178.7 mg/g (pH = 2.0) at 298 K, which exhibited competitiveness with most of the reported solid materials. Meanwhile, adsorption data were fitted perfectly to the Langmuir and Pseudo-second-order equations, which indicated that the monolayer and homogenous chemisorption dominated the removal process. The SEM-EDX, DFT and XPS analysis conformed that adsorption of U(VI) was mainly via surface complexation, while the elimination of Cr(VI) was a redox reaction process, and about 65.33% of Cr(III) and 34.67% of Cr(VI) co-existed onto the surface of DAWP-PT. Thus, this study would provide a high-efficiency and low-cost adsorbent for radionuclide and heavy metal treatment.

A novel phytic acid impregnated polyaniline (PA-PANI) was synthesized by a in situ polymerization and supermolecular self-assembly method and has been used as an adsorbent for efficient capture of U(VI) from aqueous solution. The structure and morphology of the adsorbent were well characterized. The influence of different factors such as pH value, ionic strength, contact time, initial U(VI) concentration and temperature on the adsorption of U(VI) onto PA-PANI-3 were carried out by batch adsorption experiments. The results demonstrated an enhanced U(VI) adsorption capacity of 86.6 mg/g for PA-PANI-3, greatly exceeding that of polyaniline (PANI, 8.8 mg/g). The adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models with the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of 90.3 mg/g. According to the calculation from the Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm model equation, it is suggested that the adsorption is mainly a chemical adsorption mechanism. U(VI) is adsorbed on PA-PANI-3 via the phosphoric acid, amine, and imine groups. The U(VI) can be desorbed from the U(VI) adsorbed PA-PANI-3 with a desorption efficiency of 90.8% by using 0.1 mol/L Na2CO3 solution. This study demonstrated that PA-PANI could be used as an efficient adsorbent for removal and recovery of U(VI) from aqueous solution.

The magnetic iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles stabilized on the biochar were synthesized by fast pyrolysis of Fe(II)-loaded hydrophyte biomass under N 2 conditions. The batch experiments showed that magnetic biochar presented a large removal capacity (54.35 mg/g) at pH 3.0 and 293 K. The reductive co-precipitation of U(VI) to U(IV) by magnetic biochar was demonstrated according to X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near edge structure analysis. According to extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis, the occurrence of U-Fe and U-U shells indicated that high effective removal of uranium was primarily inner-sphere coordination and then reductive co-precipitation at low pH. These observations provided the further understanding of uranium removal by magnetic materials in environmental remediation.

The biosorption and biomineralization behavior of U(VI) by Kocuria rosea with uranium resistance higher than other general microorganisms was investigated in this study. The results showed the obvious effects of initial U(VI) concentration, biomass, time, and especially pH, and presented that U(VI) was immobilized to K. rosea by physical and chemical action. The characterization results for the precipitation proved that U–P minerals with U(VI) (H 3 OUO 2 PO 4 ·3H 2 O, H 2 (UO 2 ) 2 (PO 4 ) 2 ·8H 2 O) or U(IV) (CaU(PO 4 ) 2 ) were dominant, and the crystallization level increased with time. In the process, the phosphorous containing groups, amino, hydroxyl and carboxyl groups played important roles in adsorption of U(VI), and the phosphate groups were crucial in immobilization of uranium, showing the importance of groups containing phosphorus in both biosorption and biomineralization processes. Our findings focus on the biosorption and biomineralization mechanism of U(VI) by K. rosea , emphasize the synergy of physical adsorption and chemical immobilization in the process and formation of U(VI)–P and U(IV)–P minerals, and highlight the significance of phosphorus involvement in the reaction.

Although two-dimensional transition metal carbides and carbonitrides (MXenes) are becoming increasingly popular in contaminant remediation field, the preparation of MXene nanosheets that can efficiently eliminate the target pollutants still deserves in-depth investigation. Here we produced amidoxime Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets (TC-AO), which were efficient radionuclide adsorbents with high stability and positive affinity, by introducing the amidoxime group into the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene surface through grafting by diazonium salt. The high stability and abundant functional groups of TC-AO were demonstrated by different characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Multiple factors affecting the radionuclide removal performance were explored, including reaction time, temperature, pH, ionic strength, anions and cations. The experimental results demonstrated that the radionuclide uptake by TC-AO was a heat-absorbing, spontaneous single-molecule chemisorption process and was consistent with the pseudo-secondary and Langmuir models. When pH < 6, the mechanism of uranium removal was inner complexation, and as the pH continued to increase, uranium removal shifted to outer complexation. Furthermore, the results certificated that TC-AO exhibited fast reaction kinetics (reaching equilibrium in about 20 min), excellent removal efficiency (279.57 mg U·g −1 and 73.99 mg Eu·g −1 ), outstanding selectivity and good stability. The studies showed that TC-AO had good stability and functionality, which was not only valuable for the design of MXene based adsorbents, but also provided a meaningful option for the extraction of radioactive pollutants from wastewater.

The primary aim of this work is to test a novel adsorbent prepared by cross-linking of tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile with chitosan (CS-TFT) for the removal of Cr(VI) and U(VI). The CS-TFT is stable until 250 °C and possesses amino functional groups due to the presence of CS that remain intact even after the cross-linking reaction, thus being a benefit for adsorption properties; while the TFT brought roughness to CS-TFT that keeps its high porosity. The adsorption efficiency of CS-TFT is evaluated in the batch experiment of Cr(VI) and U(VI) adsorption along with the effect of different experimental parameters (pH, time, temperature, initial concentrations, and co-existing inorganic cations). The maximum adsorption capacity of CS-TFT for adsorption of Cr(VI) and U(VI) was 265.96 mg·g -1 at pH = 3 and 346.06 mg·g -1 at pH = 5, respectively, at 298 K and the corresponding partition coefficients were 12,454 and 6181 mg g -1 mM -1 , respectively. The kinetics of the adsorption process is identified as a pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir isotherm model is considered. The CS-TFT shows satisfactory reusability since it can be used after 6 cycles of regeneration with a removal efficiency of Cr(VI) and U(VI) higher than 90 %. The adsorption mechanism is also proposed based on investigation of CS-TFT by FTIR, XPS and SEM-EDS before and after adsorption. The results show that hydroxy (–OH) and amino (–NH 2 ) groups play a key role in the chemical adsorption . All these findings suggest that CS-TFT could be a promising adsorbent for wastewaters treatment .

In this study, chitosan (CS) loading well-dispersed nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI/CS) was successfully prepared via the liquid-phase reduction method. Characterizations of the NZVI/CS with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction suggested that the as-prepared NZVI/CS comprised numerous dispersed Fe 0 nanoparticles . Synergistic adsorption and reduction occurred during the removal process based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy . Influence of pH, contract time and temperature on U(VI) removal were investigated. The high removal capacity and rapid removal kinetics were predominately ascribed to the existence of well-distributed NZVI, which could rapidly reduce U(VI) into U(IV). The removal process could be better depicted by the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic parameters showed that the removal process was exothermic. These findings indicate that the synthesized NZVI/CS composites have potential application for the removal of U(VI) from the sewage water.

The application of chitosan-based materials for the separation of uranium from wastewater was limited due to the lack of active sites. In this work, a chitosan-based composite (CaCO3@aCS/PA) was effectively created by modifying chitosan with CaCO3 and phytic acid to enhance the adsorption performance of chitosan materials. CaCO3@aCS/PA showed no significant changes and no Ca2+ was detected in the solution after stirring for 10 h in a solution with pH > 3, indicating good stability of CaCO3@aCS/PA, which was beneficial for use in adsorption. Moreover, the adsorption capacity and adsorption percentage of CaCO3@aCS/PA for uranium reached 842.0 mg/g (298 K, pH = 4) and 95.4% (C0 = 10 mg/L, pH = 4) and the adsorption equilibrium time was significantly shortened, indicating that the modification with CaCO3 and phytic acid enhanced the adsorption ability of chitosan for uranium, which was related to the synergistic effect of various active sites (CO32–, PO43–, −OH, and –NH2) on CaCO3@aCS/PA for uranium adsorption.
