A reusable KMnFC/SA membrane for robust uranium recovery from acidic effluents

The efficient recovery of uranium from acidic wastewater is a critical challenge in nuclear environmental management. Herein, We developed a novel potassium manganese ferricyanide/sodium alginate (KMnFC/SA) membrane for uranium recovery from acidic effluents. Fabricated via a simple, low-cost method, the membrane exhibits high performance with a maximum static capacity of 377.7 mg g −1 and excellent reusability over eight cycles, demonstrating its reliability. This work presents the KMnFC/SA membrane as a robust, efficient, and reusable adsorbent with significant potential for practical uranium remediation from acidic effluents.
