Abstract
The decontamination of radioactive TcO4- from nuclear wastes is becoming increasingly crucial for spent nuclear fuel reprocessing and environmental remediation. In this work, a series of ionic liquid-immobilized silica-based adsorbents (SVIL-Cn, n = 1, 4, 8) were newly synthesized using the radiation-induced grafting of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride onto silanized silica and subsequent functionalization with 1-methylimidazole, 1-butylimidazole, or 1-octylimidazole. The synthesis conditions such as the solvent, absorbed dose, and monomer concentration were investigated in detail, and the resulting adsorbents were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, SEM, and TGA. In batch experiments, the adsorbents exhibited a high ReO4- (a nonradioactive surrogate of TcO4-) removal efficiency over a wide pH range (3 ~ 8), and SVIL-C1 showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 70.62 mg g-1 towards ReO4-. In addition, their adsorption performance barely changed after 800 kGy radiation. The column experiments for treating simulated radioactive wastewater showed that the SVIL-Cn adsorbents could selectively separate TcO4-/ReO4- from a variety of fission products, and they could be recycled four times with negligible capacity loss. Lastly, XPS and FT-IR analysis confirmed that the adsorption proceeded via an ion-exchange mechanism. The results showed that these adsorbents are suitable for the efficient removal of TcO4-/ReO4- from radioactive wastewater with complex compositions.

Unveiling the Uncommon Fluorescent Recognition Mechanism towards Pertechnetate Using a Cationic Metal-Organic Framework Bearing N-Heterocyclic AIE Molecules. Chemistry 2021; 27:5632-5637.

Abstract
As one of most problematic radionuclides, technetium-99, mainly in the form of anionic pertechnetate (TcO4 - ), exhibits high environmental mobility, long half-life, and radioactive hazard. Due to low charge density and high hydrophobicity for this tetrahedral anion, it is extremely difficult to recognize it in water. Seeking efficient and selective recognition method for TcO4 - is still a big challenge. Herein, a new water-stable cationic metal-organic framework (ZJU-X8) was reported, bearing tetraphenylethylene pyrimidine-based aggregation-induced emission (AIE) ligands and attainable silver sites for TcO4 - detection. ZJU-X8 underwent an obvious spectroscopic change from brilliant blue to flavovirens and exhibited splendid selectivity towards TcO4 - . This uncommon fluorescent recognition mechanism was well elucidated by batch sorption experiments and DFT calculations. It was found that only TcO4 - could enter into the body of ZJU-X8 through anion exchange whereas other competing anions were excluded outside. Subsequently, after interaction between TcO4 - and silver ions, the electron polarizations from pyrimidine rings to Ag+ cations significantly lowered the energy level of the π* orbital and thus reduced the π-π* energy gap, resulting in a red-shift in the fluorescent spectra.

Abstract
A synergistic strategy for enhancing U(vi) capture under highly acidic conditions (2 M HNO3) by radiation resistant phosphonate-functionalized two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks with tailor-made binding sites bearing a strong affinity was described. The combination of the radiation resistant characteristic with a strong acid-resistant property endows COFs with practical capabilities for actinide capture from real radioactive liquid waste.
