The impact of the diffuse double-layer on the diffusion of radionuclide anions remains unclear, impeding the application of Archie's law for adsorptive anions. Through-diffusion experiments were carried out to measure the effective diffusion coefficient and distribution coefficient of Ce(III) in the presence of EDTA. A multi-porosity model, in combination with Archie's law, was used to estimate the effective diffusion coefficient. The predominant species, CeEDTA − , exhibited an effective diffusion coefficient of (0.88–1.92) × 10 −11 m 2 /s and the distribution coefficient of (0.81–1.18) × 10 −3 m 3 /kg at the compacted dry density of 1300–1800 kg/m 3 . The accessible porosity, the diffuse double-layer porosity, and the interlayer porosity were analyzed using the multi-porosity model, based on the characterization of bentonite via Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffractometer , and Nitrogen-Brunner-Emmett-Teller method. Due to the low external surface area of Zhisin bentonite (27.7–35.3 m 2 /g), the impact of the diffuse double-layer was insignificant on the total and accessible porosities. Additionally, the diffuse double-layer porosity had insignificant impact on the effective diffusion coefficient of CeEDTA − in compacted bentonite, as its value was one order magnitude lower than that of the interlayer porosity and the accessible porosity.

Extraction reactor is a major research area of interest within the field of rare earths extraction and separation. SiC foam offers excellent material characteristics as well as three-dimensional (3-D) reticulated structure; however, very little research has been carried out on its application in extraction reactor so far. In this work, a static mixer reactor based on SiC foam was designed and demonstrated to extract and separate Ce(III) and Pr(III) from nitric acid media by using 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (P507) as extractant. The structure–performance relationship between SiC foam and extraction performance was studied by experiment combined with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The experiment data are in good agreement with the simulation results. Contrast experiment by using a Kenics mixer was carried out, and SiC foam shows better extraction and mass transfer performance. Using the optimal structural SiC foam (pore size D = 2.3 mm, open porosity ε = 85%, foam length L = 80 mm), high extraction efficiency η (Pr(III): 94.6%, Ce(III): 88.5%) and separation factor β (2.27) between Ce(III) and Pr(III) is achieved at a high total throughput of 200 mL/min. Besides, overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient K L a of Pr(III) and Ce(III) are 0.519 and 0.378 s −1 at the residence time τ of 3.6 s, respectively, which reach the high level of microchannel reactors and are better than conventional extractors and other static mixers. SiC foam is found to be applicable as a static mixer for efficient and high-throughput extraction and separation of rare earths.

Herein, we synthesized and characterized glutathione-capped copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) using a convenient one-pot chemical reduction approach based on glutathione as capping and reducing agents. The Ce(III) induced aggregation-induced emission of CuNCs to form a CuNCs-Ce 3+ fluoroprobe due to electrostatic and coordination interactions between Ce 3+ and CuNCs. In contrast to CuNCs, the fluorescent intensities (FLs) of CuNCs-Ce 3+ were enhanced by ~ 40-fold concomitant with 20-nm blue-shift of the maximum emission, and a 3.45-fold lengthening of the average fluorescent lifetime. The FLs of CuNCs-Ce 3+ were selectively quenched at 650 nm by hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) via the redox reaction. Based on this phenomenon, the sensitive assay of H 2 O 2 was realized, and the linear range spanned over the range of 14–140 μM. Notably, the visualization of the fluorescence quenched effect of H 2 O 2 could be easily attained. Additionally, glucose could be specifically oxidized by glucose oxidase to produce H 2 O 2 , and thus the detection of glucose was achieved according to changes in the concentrations of H 2 O 2 . Under optimized conditions, the fluorescent assay of glucose based on the CuNCs-Ce 3+ system offered the linear range of 8–48 μM with detection limit of 2.4 μM. Meanwhile, high selectivity of the as-constructed fluorescent assay allows the sensitive detection of H 2 O 2 and glucose in real-world care products and human serum samples, showing a great application potential in their conventional monitoring.

The modification of polymers can significantly improve the ability to remove rare earth ions from wastewater, but so far few studies have focused on the irradiation-induced grafting method. In this study, a novel magnetic chelating resin for Ce(III) uptake was first synthesized by suspension polymerization of PMMA@Fe3O4microspheres followed by irradiation-induced grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and subsequent amination with polyethyleneimine (PEI). The FT-IR, SEM, TG and XRD characterization confirmed that we had successfully fabricated magnetic PMMA-PGMA-PEI microspheres with a well-defined structure and good thermal stability. The obtained adsorbent exhibited a satisfactory uptake capacity of 189.81 mg/g for Ce(III) at 318.15 K and an initial pH = 6.0. Additionally, the impact of the absorbed dose and GMA monomer concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time and initial concentration were thoroughly examined. The pseudo-second order and Langmuir models were able to describe the kinetics and isotherms of the adsorption process well. In addition, the thermodynamic data indicated that the uptake process was spontaneous and endothermic. Altogether, this research enriched the Ce(III) trapping agent and provided a new method for the removal rare earth pollutants.Keywords:magnetic PMMA microspheres;PEI;radiation induced grafting;Ce(III) adsorption

The peroxone (O 3 /H 2 O 2 ) process has long suffered from inefficient performance for water decontamination at acidic pHs. Herein, we find the evident capability of trace Ce(III) to boost the acidic peroxone process. In contrast to the negligible degradation (∼6% in 60 min) of oxalic acid (OA) as a recalcitrant compound in the O 3 /H 2 O 2 system, efficient removal of OA (∼95 %) was achieved by introducing trace Ce(III) (0.30 µM). OA was identified as an effective ligand activating Ce(III) by forming the Ce(III)-OA complex, which served as the catalytic active component to accelerate the decomposition of O 3 and H 2 O 2 to produce •OH and promote the co-degradation of refractory pollutant atrazine and ibuprofen. The remarkable catalytic activity of trace Ce(III) for peroxone reaction resulted from the efficient interconversion of Ce(III/IV) relying on both the favorable electron transfer from the ternary Ce(III)-OA-hydroperoxo complex to O 3 and the rapid reduction of Ce(IV) back to Ce(III) mainly by H 2 O 2 . Furthermore, the catalytic performance of Ce(III) for peroxone process outperformed Fe(II), Cu(II), and Co(II). This study puts forward an effective method to extrapolate the applicability of the peroxone (O 3 /H 2 O 2 ) process to the acidic range and enlightens the development of Ce-catalyzed peroxone processes.

CTS- g -(AA- co -SS)/ISC hybrid hydrogel adsorbent with crosslinked network structure and superior adsorption performance for rare-earth metal ions was successfully synthesized in aqueous solution by a simple one-step free-radical grafting polymerization reaction among acrylic acid (AA), sodium p -styrenesulfonate (SS) and chitosan (CTS) using illite/smectite clay (ISC) as the inorganic additive. The structure of the as-prepared CTS- g -(AA- co -SS)/ISC hydrogel adsorbent was characterized, and the reaction parameters such as AA/SS molar ratio and ISC content were optimized, and the effects of pH values, initial concentration and contact time on the adsorption performance for Ce(III) and Gd(III) were systematically evaluated. It was found that the maximum adsorption capacities of the hydrogel adsorbent toward Ce(III) and Gd(III) reached 174.05 and 223.79 mg/g, respectively, and the adsorption quickly achieved equilibrium within 15–20 min. The adsorbed Ce(III) and Gd(III) could be easily desorbed for recovery, and the used adsorbent was able to be regenerated for reuse. After five adsorption-desorption cycles, the regenerated adsorbent could still retain the adsorption capacities that were close to the initial value. The adsorption process was well described by pseudo-second-order kinetic mode and the Langmuir isotherm model, and the chemical complexation between ions and –COO – was mainly responsible for the high adsorption capacity. As a whole, the hybrid hydrogel adsorbent was potential to be used for the adsorption and recovery of Ce(III) and Gd(III) from water.

The authors show that silver nanoclusters functionalized with Ce(III) ions are a viable fluorescent probe for selective and sensitive detection of sulfide at pH 7.0. The blue fluorescence of silver nanoclusters (with excitation/emission peaks at 358/426 nm) is enhanced on the addition of Ce(III) ions but is quenched in the presence of a trace concentrations of sulfide. A fluorometric assay was worked out using the Ce(III)/AgNCs as the probe. Sulfide can be detected in concentrations up to 2.0 μM, and the detection limit is 15 nM. The method was successfully applied to the determination of sulfide in spiked real samples.
Silver nanoclusters functionalized with Ce(III) ions are a viable “turn-on-off” fluorescent probe for selective and sensitive detection of sulfide at pH 7.0.

A series of hierarchical micro/nano Ce-based composites were derived from Ce-MOF via thermal treatment in N 2 atmosphere. Different from conventional complete decomposed materials, forming cerium oxide in air, Ce-MOF that calcinated in N 2 at lower temperatures (400 °C or 500 °C) showed a partial thermal decomposition with high percent content of Ce(III). Even though the complete decomposed products held higher surface areas, the partial decomposed samples exhibited extremely higher phosphate uptake, with working capacity 2–4 times higher than that of ceria. The results implied a predominant effect of different valence states on phosphate removal by Ce-based materials, in which Ce(III) species were demonstrated playing the major role to form binding with phosphate. The maximum adsorption capacity (189.4 mg/g) was achieved by Ce-MOF-500(S) with wide applicable scope of pH ranging from 2 to 12 and great selectivity for phosphate in the presence of competing anions. Remarkably, Ce-MOF-500(S) described obvious enhanced phosphate adsorption ability under alkaline condition. This was due to the fact that the hydrolyzed Ce(III) species brought more active sites in the form of hydroxyl groups for ligand exchange with phosphate. Furthermore, based on the analysis of FTIR, XPS, XRD and zeta potential, electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange and surface precipitation were confirmed as the main adsorption mechanisms for partial decomposed samples, while electrostatic attraction was the main mechanism for complete decomposed samples.

By alternative immersion into the aqueous solutions of phytic acid (PA) and CeCl 3 for n cycles, a nanocomposite coating coded as (PA/Ce) n was fabricated on the magnesium substrate. The Ce 3+ ions were supposed to coordinate with the phosphate groups of the PA molecules and the (PA/Ce) n coatings adhered to the substrate firmly (5B according to the ASTM D 3359 method). Compared with the PA coating, the Ce 3+ ions enhanced the corrosion resistance of the PA/Ce nanocomposite coating . To further improve the corrosion resistance , the (PA/Ce) n coatings were immersed into the ethanol solution of hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDMS) and followed by heating in air. The so-obtained sample coded as Mg-H 2 O-(PA/Ce) n -HDMS was superhydrophobic and possessed much better corrosion resistance as compared with the Mg-H 2 O-(PA/Ce) n sample due to the retained thin layer of air at the solid/water interface in the NaCl aqueous solution. For four cycles, the Mg-H 2 O-(PA/Ce) 4 -HDMS sample showed the most excellent superhydrophobicity with a contact angle of 167.3 ± 2.1° and a sliding angle of 2.7 ± 0.8° due to its hierarchical surface morphology . Moreover, for four cycles, the retained air was most durable and remained intact after immersion for 80 h; consequently, the corrosion resistance of the Mg-H 2 O-(PA/Ce) 4 -HDMS sample was found the best. In one word, the corrosion resistance of PA to the Mg substrate was improved by incorporating with Ce 3+ ions and further modifying by HDMS molecules. The present study provided a new conversion coating by combining the synergistic anti-corrosion effect of PA, Ce 3+ ions, and the surface superhydrophobicity.

Porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit excellent characteristics for the adsorptive removal of environmental pollutants. Herein, the surface charge, adsorption sites, and adsorption spaces in the pore channels of UiO-67 nanocrystals were modulated by Ce(III) doping to reveal the effects of these parameters on the removal of organic dyes such as methylene blue (MB), methyl orange, and Congo red from aqueous solution. The MB adsorption capacity of Ce(III)-doped UiO-67 (398.9 mg g −1 ) exceeded that reported for pristine UiO-67 by 85%, which was rationalized by zeta potential measurements and adsorption isotherm analyses. As a result, it was revealed that whereas electrostatic repulsion occurred between MB and pristine UiO-67, electrostatic attraction occurred between MB and Ce(III)-doped UiO-67. Furthermore, Ce(III) doping promoted π–π interactions between the adsorbent and the adsorbate. Thus, Ce(III) doping increased MB adsorption capacity despite decreasing the number of adsorption sites and spaces in channels. The obtained results shed light on the mechanism of organic dye adsorption on MOFs and revealed that the synergetic interplay of electrostatic and π–π interactions, adsorption sites, and adsorption spaces increases the adsorption capacity for cationic dyes while decreasing that for anionic dyes.

Simple and rapid analytical methods for pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are in high demand for environment monitoring. Herein, an in-situ doping strategy was used to ultrarapid synthesize carbon black (CB)-doped Ce (III, IV)-MOF composite with dumbbell-shaped structure at room temperature, which had been used as an electrochemical sensor for the effective and simultaneous detection of typical PPCPs such as dopamine (DA) and acetaminophen (AC) in complex matrices samples using different pulse voltammetry (DPV). Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Nitrogen adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD) were used to characterize the morphological and electrochemical properties of synthesized a series material. The mixed-valent CB/Ce (III, IV)-MOF with excellent pore structure properties provided more exposed active sites, which were more conducive to adsorption and thus improved sensing performance. The result showed that the proposed method had a wide linear range (for DA: 0.3–252.0 µM, for AC: 0.3–252.0 µM) and low detection limits (for DA: 0.0955 µM, for AC: 0.1170 µM). Based on the synergistic effect of both CB and Ce (III, IV)-MOF, the composites modified electrodes had excellent electroanalytical capability for DA and AC, which could be used for efficient and rapid monitoring of ECs and the construction of new electrochemical sensor based on MOFs.

Ce(III) ion-imprinted polymer (Ce(III)-IIP) grafted on Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles supported by SBA-15 mesopores microreactor was successfully synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization for selective removal of Ce(III) from aqueous solution. The characterization results suggest that the surface ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) synthesized by RAFT is a thin layer. Adsorption isotherm experiments indicated that Redlich-Peterson isotherm model best fitted the experimental data and the adsorption capacity of IIP was obviously higher than that of non-imprinted polymers (NIP) at the same conditions. The kinetics of adsorption followed the Thomas model. Moreover, competitive adsorption studies illustrated that Ce(III)-IIP offers the advantages of selectivity towards Ce(III) compared with NIP even in the presence of other metal ions. All above results indicated the potential application of Ce(III)-IIP for selective removal of Ce(III) from aqueous solution.
