Construction of montmorillonite-based materials for highly efficient uranium removal: adsorption behaviors and mechanism
In this work, Fe 3+ -doped and -NH 2 -grafted montmorillonite-based material was prepared and the adsorption ability for uranium(VI) was verified. The microstructure and pore size distribution of the montmorillonite-based material were investigated by N 2 adsorption-desorption analyzer and scanning electron microscopy. The surface groups and composition were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer and X-ray diffractometer, which proved the successful doping of Fe 3+ and grafting of -NH 2 . In the adsorption study, the adsorption reached equilibrium within 100 min with a maximum adsorption capacity of 661.2 mg/g at pH = 6 and a high adsorption efficiency of 99.4 % at low uranium(VI) concentration (pH = 6, m/V = 0.5 g/L). The mechanism study showed that the strong synergistic complexation of -OH and -NH 2 for uranium(VI) played a decisive role in the adsorption process and the transport function of interlayer bound water could also enhance the adsorption probability of uranium(VI) species. These results were far superior to other reported similar materials, which proved that the Fe 3+ -doped and -NH 2 -grafted montmorillonite-based material possessed an extremely high application potential in adsorption, providing a new route for the modification of montmorillonite.
