The development and use of clean energy produced by nuclear power plants is becoming a major international trend, but it will inevitably lead to the problem of radionuclide pollution. Radioactive nuclear wastewater containing Cs and U and produced as a byproduct of coastal nuclear power production can cause substantial environmental pollution . In order to simultaneously remove radioactive cesium and uranium, polydopamine (PDA) inlaid ammonium phosphomolybdate (AMP) has established a hydrophilic functional structural film on the surface of Fe 3 O 4 , forming AMP@PDA@Fe 3 O 4 (APF) which is used to simultaneous remove Cs(I) and U(VI). Using the pH sensitive range of APF adsorption in the process of adsorbing Cs(I) and U(VI), synergistic adsorption can be achieved under the condition of weak acidity to neutral. The effects of temperature, and common cations on Cs(I) and U(VI) adsorption by APF were investigated, the adsorption was found to be sensitive to the presence of K + . The efficiency of Cs(I) and U(VI) adsorption by APF was 99.88% and 98.39%, respectively. The Cs(I) adsorption process was primarily ion exchange with NH 4 + within APF composite, whereas that for U(VI) was primarily C-O complexation. Both the Cs(I) and U(VI) adsorption reactions were consistent with second-order kinetic and Langmuir isothermal adsorption models. After five cycles of experiments the removal efficiency of Cs(I) and U(VI) can reach 64.88% and 79.81%, respectively. APF was also found to have high selectivity for Cs and U in seawater with high salt content at pH 6.0–7.0. In mimic contaminated seawater, the efficiency of Cs(I) and U(VI) removal was 97.65% and 84.63%, respectively. These findings provide references for the remove of Cs(I) and U(VI) from radioactive wastewater , making the process of energy production safer.

A new Cs(I) magnetic ion-imprinted polymer (Cs(I)-MIIP) aimed at the selective adsorption and separation of Cs(I) from salt lake brine was prepared. The Fe3O4@SiO2 was used as supporter, Cs(I) as template ion, and carboxymethyl chitosan as functional monomer. The product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, XRD, energy-dispersive spectrometry, scanning electron microcopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The adsorption of the Cs(I)-MIIP in solution was investigated, which indicated the maximum adsorption capacity was 36.15 mg·g−1 under the optimum conditions. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm model were applied to predict the adsorption process of Cs(I) onto Cs(I)-MIIP. Selectivity experiments showed that the relative selectivity coefficient (k′) were 24.995, 1.73, 1.43, 4.83, and 1.63 to Cs(I)/Li(I), Cs(I)/Na(I), Cs(I)/K(I), Cs(I)/Rb(I), and Cs(I)/Sr(II) binary solutions, higher than those of NIP, respectively. Furthermore, the Cs(I)-MIIP was successfully applied to the enrichment and separation of Cs(I) from the salt lake brine of Qinghai, with satisfactory Cs(I) recovery rates.

The alteration of the morphology of bentonite, a key barrier to isolating high-level radioactive waste in deep geological repositories under long-term interaction with groundwater, was studied. Bentonite colloids were prepared from Gaomiaozi bentonite, and its various properties were analyzed by various characterization methods. The effects of various factors on the adsorption of Cs(I) and Co(II) on bentonite colloids were investigated by batch static adsorption experiments. The results showed that the colloids were mainly composed of montmorillonite and were lamellar in shape, with a zeta potential of −enton mV and an average size of approximately 209.10 nm. The adsorption of Cs(I) and Co(II) by the colloids was a rapid process, and 31.78 and 88.24 mg/g, respectively, were adsorbed at equilibrium. Pseudo-second-order kinetic fitting showed that chemisorption plays a dominant role and acid-base interactions affect adsorption by influencing the stability of colloids and the chemical form of simulated nuclides. This work can be helpful for evaluating the safety of waste repositories.

Due to the relative abundance, long half-life and high mobility of radioactive cesium (Cs), new adsorbents are urgently needed to treat Cs to ensure public health. In this study, a graphene oxide (GO) based adsorbent for Cs(I) adsorption was prepared by 1-aza-18-crown-6 ether modification. XRD, FT-IR, XPS and SEM results showed that the properties of 1-aza-18-crown 6 ether modified GO (18C6-GO) changed dramatically compared with that of raw graphite. The adsorption properties of 18C6-GO for Cs(I) were studied by batch static adsorption experiments. The results showed that the adsorption equilibrium time of 18C6-GO was 20 h. Kinetic study revealed that the adsorption rate of Cs(I) conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Langmuir adsorption isotherm simulation indicated that the adsorption arises at homogeneous adsorption sites on 18C6-GO. Therefore, crown ether modified GO may have implications for the treatment of wastewater.

Rubidium and cesium are highly-priced and important rare alkali elements but they always co-exist with large amount of sodium and potassium in a complex system resulting very difficult and expensive to recover. Hexacyanoferrates (MHCFs) is one of the most efficient methods to separate Rb + and Cs + if we don't consider certain drawbacks such as too small particle size and too viscous liquids to be precipitated. In this study, a new kind of hexacyanoferrate, magnesium (II) hexacyanoferrate (RbCs–MgHCF) has been fabricated at room temperature and applied for the first time to recover Rb + and Cs + from high-salty solutions. Compared with traditional divalent transition elements, such as CuHCFs, ZnHCFs, NiHCFs, CoHCFs or FeHCFs, RbCs–MgHCF had excellent precipitation property and large particle size of about 300 nm. The structure, morphology and composition were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Inductively coupled plasma (ICP), and Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The effects of various factors (divalent metal cations, surfactant, Mg 2+ /(Rb + +Cs + ) mole ratio, pH value and titration rate) on the recovery of Rb + and Cs + were explored in 50 mL batch experiments. Scale-up experiment were conducted in 6 and 18 L. Results identified that deposition ratio for Cs + and Rb + were 99% and 95% among pH ranges of 4.0–11.0. The composition of RbCs–MgHCF was confirmed to be Rb 0.61 Cs 1.20 K 0.17 Mg 1.01 Fe(CN) 6 by ICP and EDS and the synthesis mechanism of RbCs–MgHCF is proposed.

In this study, a novel CT contrast agent used by rectal administration is developed for targeting intestinal imaging. Iopamidol, an iodinated contrast agent, is loaded in chitosan (CS) nanospheres modified by Anti-5-HT3R (AH) antibody. The obtained AH-CS-I nanospheres (AH-CS-I Ns) would combine to 5-HT3 receptors highly expressed on the gastrointestinal mucosal, enhancing the intestinal-targeting ability of the contrast agent. The AH-CS-I Ns were administered by the rectal route for intestinal CT imaging, and FITC-labeled AH-CS-I Ns were prepared for investigating the in vivo distribution of the contrast agent. As a result, obvious contrast enhancement could still be observed at 6 h post administration because of the poorly absorption of enteral AH-CS-I Ns. Unlike the intravascularly administered agents, AH-CS-I Ns would not accumulate in the kidney and induce adverse reactions. Therefore, this technology has potential applications in the examination of intestinal diseases and could reduce the side effect of commercial iopamidol.

Herein, a biochar-based composite (Ti 3 C 2 T x @biochar-PDA/PEI) was constructed by decorating Ti 3 C 2 T x and polydopamine on coconut shell biochar via electrostatic self-assembly method. Different characterization techniques were applied to explore the structure, morphology and composition of the sorbents. It was found that the higher porosity and diverse functional groups were conducive for Ti 3 C 2 T x @biochar-PDA/PEI to capture radionuclides, and the water environmental conditions made a great contribution to the adsorption process. The process of removing U(VI)/Cs(I) well complied with the Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo-second-order equations, which indicated that the single layer chemical adsorption occurred on the solid liquid interface. Meanwhile, this produced composite exhibited superior removal performance under complex co-existing ion environment, and the maximum adsorption amounts of U(VI) and Cs(I) reached up to 239.7 and 40.3 mg g −1 . Impressively, this adsorbent still exhibited good adsorption performance after three cycles of regeneration. The spectral analysis and DFT calculation demonstrated that adsorption of U(VI) might be a chemical process, while the adsorption of Cs(I) should be ion exchange or electrostatic attraction. This study demonstrated the potential application of Ti 3 C 2 T x @biochar-PDA/PEI as an effective remediation strategy for radioactive wastewater cleanup. Graphical Abstract

As a new carbon-based membrane material used for ionic and molecular sieving, the graphene oxide (GO) membrane also has potential application in radiochemical separation. In this work, the permeation performances of some typical metallic elements in high level-liquid waste (HLLW) through the ionic sieving 5-μm-thick GO membranes were investigated. It was found that the permeation rates of ions through GO membranes markedly decreased with the increase of hydrated ionic radii. Cs(I) and Sr(II) permeated through GO membranes quickly, whereas lanthanide ions and actinide ions infiltrated much more slowly, thus providing the feasibility of separation according to the difference of hydrated ionic radii. Moreover, the concentrations of initial metal ions and acidity in feed solutions also had influences on the permeation of ions through GO membranes, and higher initial metal ions and feed solution acidity were favorable to the removal of Cs(I) and Sr(II). The barrier separation test indicated that GO membranes had promising ability for the separation of Cs(I) and Sr(II) from lanthanide and actinide ions due to the difference of hydrated ion radius, and the separation factor of Cs(I)/U(VI) and Sr(II)/U(VI) would reach about 10 and 3 in single penetration. The presented results demonstrated that the membrane separation based on GO membrane would be a promising candidate for the removal of Cs(I) and Sr(II) from HLLW.

In this study, a cesium ion imprinted polymer (Cs(I)-IIP) was prepared by free radical thermal polymerization using 18-crown-6-ether (18C6) as ligand, methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as crosslinking agent, which can be used for adsorption and separation of cesium ions from low-concentration solutions. The adsorption kinetic and isotherm results showed that the adsorption of Cs + fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, indicating that the adsorption of Cs + on Cs(I)-IIP was the monolayer chemical adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity was 84.21 mg·g − 1 . The selective adsorption properties are performed in Cs + , Li + , Na + , and K + multicomponent systems. The results showed that the Cs(I)-IIP has a high selectivity in the presence of coexisting Li + , Na + , and K + , and the selectivity coefficients ( K’ ) of Cs(I)-IIP for Cs + /Li + , Cs + /Na + , Cs + /K + are 2.1, 1.56, and 1.33, respectively. The high adsorption capacity and selectivity are attributed to the introduction of imprinting technology to form specific Cs + recognition adsorption sites, and the 18C6 cavity was easier to recognize Cs + in the competitive adsorption process. Finally, the Cs(I)-IIP can be regenerated and reused for 10 times with the adsorption capacity only decreased by 8.1%, indicating that the polymer has good reuse performance.

In this work, two novel Cs(I) ion-imprinted polymers (Cs(I)-IIP1 and Cs(I)-IIP2) have been prepared by surface imprinting technique based on support matrix of SBA-15. The strategy was carried out by introducing two different reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization including using the free RAFT agent in solution and surface-anchored RAFT agent with appropriate initiation method, which is expected to generate a well-defined surface ion-imprinted polymer with excellent adsorption capacity. The materials were verified by FT-IR, SEM, TEM, nitrogen adsorption–desorption and TGA. Owing to the intrinsic advantages of surface-anchored RAFT polymerization, the resultant surface ion-imprinted polymer (Cs(I)-IIP2) exhibited more homogeneous and thinner polymer layer (15 nm) with excellent macrostructure in comparison to Cs(I)-IIP1 (75 nm) prepared by using the free RAFT agent in solution. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of both polymers are compared, indicating that Cs(I)-IIP2 displays higher adsorption property and excellent selectivity for Cs(I).

A novel microsphere adsorbent based upon carboxymethyl cellulose sodium/prussian blue composite loaded with Lanthanum(III) (CMC/PB-La) was successfully synthesized via electrostatic ejection device for removal of cesium from contaminated water, and characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDX and XPS. Influencing factors to adsorption cesium were investigated, including solution pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial concentration, temperature and competing ions. Linear Freundlich isotherm was fitted satisfactorily to the adsorption data, and the adsorption kinetic data was fitted well with pseudo-second-order model. Moreover, the results of γ-irradiation experiments indicate that CMC/PB-La has good radiation stability.

Efficient capture and separation of Cs + from nuclear wastewater remains a central challenge in nuclear chemical engineering. Here, a solvent-free solid-state conversion strategy is developed to directionally transform natural kaolinite into sodalite under thermally driven solid-state conditions, yielding a Cs + -selective capture material with intrinsic ion-sieving properties. The resulting sodalite exhibits a high Cs + adsorption capacity of up to 242.96 mg/g in weakly acidic solutions and reaches adsorption equilibrium within approximately 50 min, demonstrating fast uptake kinetics. Isotherm and kinetic analyses demonstrate that Cs + adsorption proceeds via a monolayer, chemisorption-dominated process governed by ion exchange. Multiscale characterization combined with theoretical calculations reveals that Cs + capture arises from the synergistic effects of size-matched pore confinement and spatially confined ion-exchange sites within the sodalite framework. These findings establish kaolinite-derived sodalite as a viable inorganic platform for the efficient separation and long-term management of radionuclides in nuclear wastewater.
