Abstract
Uranium is considered as one of the most perilous radioactive contaminants in the aqueous environment. It has shown detrimental effects on both flora and fauna and because of its toxicities on human beings, therefore its exclusion from the aqueous environment is very essential. The utilization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as an adsorbent for the removal of uranium from the aqueous environment could be a good approach. MOFs possess unique properties like high surface area, high porosity, adjustable pore size, etc. This makes them promising adsorbents for the removal of uranium from contaminated water. In this paper, sources of uranium in the water environment, human health disorders, and application of the different types of MOFs as well as the mechanisms of uranium removal have been discussed meticulously.

Abstract
The efficient adsorption of radioactive elements from nuclear wastewater is an important research topic in the environmental field. The unique three-dimensional porous structure of aerogels has great potential in the field of adsorption. Phosphoric-modified aloe vera/chitosan aerogel (CS/AL-AP) was prepared from chitosan, phosphoric acid, and aloe powder by vacuum freeze-drying self-assembly. The maximum adsorption of uranyl ions by CS/AL-AP was found to be 322.34 mg/g at pH 6, adsorption time of 120 min, solid-to-liquid ratio of 0.125 g/L, reaction temperature of 303 K, and initial uranyl ion concentration of 50 mg/L. The adsorption process is consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model and the quasi-secondary kinetic model, indicating that the adsorption process is monolayer adsorption. The type of adsorption is mainly chemisorption. FTIR and XPS analyses indicate that the adsorption of U(VI) by CS/AL-AP results from the combined action of coordination or chelation of amino, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups. In addition, CS/AL-AP shows excellent adsorption capacity in the presence of complex co-existing ions. After five adsorption-desorption experiments, the adsorption capacity of CS/AL-AP for uranyl ions remained at a high level. It indicates that CS/AL-AP has good stability and recoverability. The results indicate that CS/AL-AP has excellent potential in the field of uranium removal.

Abstract
A hetero-structured metal organic framework of Cu-BTC and Fe2O3 nano-photocatalyst were tethered over chitosan using the hydrothermal method and fabricated a hybrid porous nanocomposite (CS-Fe@Cu-BTC). X-ray diffractometer results exposed the existence of Fe2O3 peaks. Surface area measurements using BET showed a mesoporous structure and the formation of type IV adsorption isotherm for nanocomposite. XPS and SEM-EDAX confirmed the existence of Fe2O3 nanoparticles in the hybrid porous structure. The UV-vis diffuse reflectance absorption shape emphasized the role of Fe2O3 in enhancing the band gap of CS-Fe@Cu-BTC nanohybrid. The lower intensity photoluminescence spectra of the CS-Fe@Cu-BTC shows a competent charge partition and delayed the recombination of electron-hole pairs. The photo-mineralization efficiency of Cu-BTC and CS-Fe@Cu-BTC was evaluated in terms of electronic interactions using paraquat (PQT) as the probe molecule, which shows a mineralization of 91% at the pH range of ~ 5. The contribution of •OH in the degradation of PQT over CS-Fe@Cu-BTC nanocomposites revealed using the trapping test and the degradation mechanism follows the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model and pseudo-first-order kinetics. The durability of the CS-Fe@Cu-BTC nanocomposite was also established after four cycling processes.

Abstract
The steady supply of uranium resources and the reduction or elimination of the ecological and human health hazards of wastewater containing uranium make the recovery and detection of uranium in water greatly important. Thus, the development of effective adsorbents and sensors has received growing attention. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possessing fascinating characteristics such as high surface area, high porosity, adjustable pore size, and luminescence have been widely used for either uranium adsorption or sensing. Now pertinent research has transited slowly into simultaneous uranium adsorption and detection. In this review, the progress on the research of MOF-based materials used for both adsorption and detection of uranium in water is first summarized. The adsorption mechanisms between uranium species in aqueous solution and MOF-based materials are elaborated by macroscopic batch experiments combined with microscopic spectral technology. Moreover, the application of MOF-based materials as uranium sensors is focused on their typical structures, sensing mechanisms, and the representative examples. Furthermore, the bifunctional MOF-based materials used for simultaneous detection and adsorption of U(VI) from aqueous solution are introduced. Finally, we also discuss the challenges and perspectives of MOF-based materials for uranium adsorption and detection to provide a useful inspiration and significant reference for further developing better adsorbents and sensors for uranium containment and detection.

Abstract
This study is based on U(VI) removal from wastewater by KMnO4-modified hazelnut shell activated carbon (KM-HSAC) using adsorption technology. A characterisation study of KM-HSAC was conducted through scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The rough surface of KM-HSAC contains many irregular microspores. The EDS pattern confirmed the U(VI) adsorption on the KM-HSAC. A batch study experiment gave optimum results for U(VI) at pH 6, contact time of 160 min, initial U(VI) concentration of 155.56 mg/L and KM-HSAC dosage of 4 g/L, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 22.27 mg/g. The prediction performance of artificial neural network models was validated through the low values of statistical error (2.708 and 8.241 for RMSE of training and testing data, respectively) and the high determination coefficient value (0.987 and 0.906 for training and testing data, respectively). Experimental results suggest that KM-HSAC has a high potential for the removal of U(VI) from wastewater.
