Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) UiO-66 and its amine derivative (UiO-66-NH 2 ) with high surface area and unprecedented chemical stability were synthesized and first explored for U(VI) capture from aqueous solutions. At pH 5.5, U(VI) sorption reach equilibrium in ca. 4 h and the maximum sorption capacity is more than 100 mg g −1 . Moreover, they show desirable selectivity towards U(VI) over a range of competing metal ions. Sorption results demonstrate that introduction of amino groups into MOFs does not enhance U(VI) sorption, probably result from the lower activity of aromatic amines, decrease of surface area and formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

During the long-term deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste , buffer materials, such as bentonite , in the waste repositories are irradiated with gamma (γ) rays, affecting their structural stability. Furthermore, bentonite colloids are formed owing to the erosion of bentonite particles by groundwater. However, the effects of prolonged irradiation on the stability of bentonite colloids and their interaction with radionuclides , which can affect the migration of the radionuclides , are yet to be elucidated. Herein, we investigated the stability of colloid prepared from irradiated bentonite with varying doses of γ rays and conducted static adsorption batch experiments to examine their U(VI) adsorption behavior. The results showed that the stability of bentonite colloids was affected by their concentration, storage time, pH, and temperature. An investigation into their polymerization kinetics revealed that the critical coagulation concentration of bentonite colloids decreased with increasing irradiation dose, indicating that the colloids formed from unirradiated bentonite were stable. Furthermore, the U(VI) adsorption capacity of bentonite colloids decreased with increasing irradiation dose. This study provides new insights into the formation and stability of colloids of buffer materials after their irradiation and is expected to contribute significantly to the study of the migration behavior of nuclides by colloidal carriers.

The adsorption remediation of radioactive contamination from wastewater is scientifically and economically important. In this work, titanium dioxide-modified manganese dioxide (MnO2@TiO2) was prepared by immobilizing crystalline anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) on the surface of alpha manganese dioxide nanowire (MnO2). The base material MnO2 nanowire acted as a physical template for the guest TiO2, and the formed MnO2@TiO2 composite exhibited a highly uniform core–shell nanorod structure. The MnO2@TiO2 composite was investigated as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of U(VI) from aqueous solution. In the same system, MnO2@TiO2 exhibited a much higher maximum adsorption capacity (105.3 mg g−1) for U(VI) as compared with MnO2 (13.3 mg g−1), showing that the performance of the surface-modified MnO2 was greatly improved. The fitting results for kinetic and isothermal models manifested that U(VI) ion adsorption by MnO2@TiO2 involved monolayer chemisorption. Characterization before and after adsorption was performed and the results compared and analyzed carefully, with the conclusion that there might be three kinds of interactions between U(VI) and MnO2@TiO2 during the adsorption process, namely inner-sphere surface complexation, chemical precipitation, and electrostatic interaction. The low-cost, facile fabrication method and efficient performance endow the adsorbent MnO2@TiO2 with a high potential for U(VI) removal from actual wastewater.

The U(VI) sorption behavior on dolomite was systematically investigated in a dilute carbonate solution using batch technique. The distribution coefficients ( K d ) increased with the increasing time and temperature, but decreased with the increase of initial U(VI) concentration and ionic strength. As the initial pH increased from 2.0 to 10.5, the K d values first increased and then decreased, mainly due to the transition from electrostatic attraction to repulsion caused by the changes in U(VI) species. The sorption process was well-described by pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models, and was spontaneous, endothermic, heterogeneous, and pH-dependent. In the presence of HA/FA, at low pH, more HAs/FAs were adsorbed on dolomite surface, providing more sorption sites for the positively charged U(VI) species, and promoting the U(VI) sorption. At high pH, more HAs/FAs were dispersed in solution, encapsulating the negatively charged U(VI) species in aggregates, and inhibiting the U(VI) sorption. The promoting and inhibiting effects of HA on the sorption process are obviously stronger than FA. XPS spectra indicated that the surface ‒OH and CO 3 2− on the hydroxylated dolomite and the –OH groups in HA/FA may be involved in U(VI) sorption. The results reported here provide valuable references for further understanding U(VI) migration in geological media.

Three types of magnetic mesoporous silicas (MMSs), namely, MMCM-41, MMCM-48 and MSBA-15 were prepared by a hydrothermal method using CTAB and P123 as templates. The structure and physicochemical properties of MMSs were characterized by small angle XRD, VSM, ζ potential analyzer, contact angle measurer, and XPS, etc. The potential applications of MMSs in U(VI) recovery were thoroughly investigated. The adsorptive kinetics, thermodynamics, and selectivity of MMCM-41, MMCM-48 and MSBA-15 were compared. The results show that MSBA-15 revealed a high capacity for U(VI) (341.94 mg·g −1 ) and a superior selectivity than MMCM-41 and MMCM-48. The adsorption mechanism was explored by using the relevant adsorption models and XPS. The results indicated that MSBA-15 could be considered a strong candidate for the adsorption and recovery of U(VI) from radioactive wastewater.

The chemically oxidized porous carbon (m-a-NC) materials were prepared by oxidation and activation of N-doped carbon (NC) materials which were produced from the glucose-urea resin primary carbon. Simultaneously, the batch experiments were carried out to investigate the adsorption of U(VI) onto the m-a-NC materials. The m-a-NC materials exhibit the maximum adsorption capacity of 397 mg/g towards U(VI) at 298.15 K and pH = 4.5. The adsorption kinetics was well fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption isotherm was better described by the Langmuir model. The possible adsorption mechanism of the m-a-NC for U(VI) was ion-exchange and coordination.

Due to the high swelling ratio, the use of chitosan-based composites for adsorption of U(VI) from wastewater is limited. To overcome this shortcoming, a novel type of hierarchical porous chitosan-based aerogel (CS-PTA-DMAs) with anti-swelling is successfully prepared via cross-linking chitosan with the cross-linker PTA-DMA, which is synthesized by p-phthalaldehyde (PTA) and 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DMA). There is no significant volume expansion of the aerogel after soaking in ultrapure water for 1 week, indicating it has good swelling property. In addition, the CS-PTA-DMA aerogel has a high U(VI) adsorption capacity of 160 mg/g (308 K, pH 6). The adsorption behavior of CS-PTA-DMA to U(VI) is coordinate to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isothermal model, which is spontaneously endothermic. Moreover, the adsorption mechanism is also investigated in details. These findings are crucial for the development of practical application uranium adsorbents.

Developing novel adsorbents for efficient U(VI) adsorption from wastewater is of great significance in both nuclear energy development and environmental protection. Herein, a novel functional resin (AO67/MA33-resin) with large particle size (100–200 μm) was controllably synthesized and employed for U(VI) elimination. The AO67/MA33-resin overcomes the shortcoming of small particle size of traditional adsorbents and shows strong antacid and high-temperature resistance stability and reusability. Meanwhile, the AO67/MA33-resin also exhibits excellent U(VI) removal ability including wide pH adaptability, fast adsorption kinetic, and high adsorption capacity. The adsorption mechanism was determined to involve chelation between amidoxime carboxyl functional groups and uranyl ions. A further application for U(VI) removal from real uranium mine wastewater was evaluated by dynamic column experiments. The present work indicated that the AO67/MA33-resin would be a promising adsorbent material for uranium removal from wastewater.

Eco-friendly and low-cost composite, amidoxime-functionalized microcrystalline cellulose/mesoporous silica (MCC/MS-AO), were synthesized by co-condensation method. The obtained materials were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and N 2 adsorption–desorption analysis. Batch experiments were carried out to study the adsorption capacity of U(VI) on MCC/MS-AO. The results show that the material has good adsorption capabilities for U(VI) including high capacity, good selectivity, and reusability. The adsorption process conforms to pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, and it is spontaneous and endothermic. Finally, the possible adsorption mechanism was further studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. Graphical abstract

A new synthetic method was designed to prepare poly (trimesoyl chloride-co-polyethyleneimine) (PEI-TMC). Characterization of PEI-TMC was investigated by FTIR, SEM, EDS , XPS, TGA , and BET. TGA test revealed that the PEI-TMC had excellent thermal stability. The BET specific surface area (4.74 m 2 g −1 ) and pore diameter of about 9.44 nm indicated that PEI-TMC possessed a mesoporous structure. The adsorption behavior of U(VI) on the PEI-TMC was investigated. The thermodynamic analysis showed that the process of PEI-TMC adsorption of U(VI) was endothermic and spontaneous, and the adsorption efficiency was better at higher temperatures. The U(VI) sorption on PEI-TMC was conformed to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models . The adsorption mechanism of U(VI) with PEI-TMC was systematically elucidated by XPS and FTIR. Under the best condition, the maximum adsorption capacity of PEI-TMC could reach 212.8 mg g −1 by calculating the Langmuir isothermal model. It indicated that PEI-TMC was a potential adsorbent for the treatment of U(VI)-containing wastewater.
