Abstract
Efficient uranium capture from wastewater holds great importance for the environmental remediation and sustainable development of nuclear energy, but it is a tremendous challenge. Herein, a facile and scalable approach is reported to fabricate functionalized hierarchical porous polymers (PPN-3) decorated with high density of phosphate groups for uranium adsorption. The as-constructed hierarchical porous structure could allow rapid diffusion of uranyl ions, while abundant phosphate groups that serve as adsorption sites could provide the high affinity for uranyl. Consequently, PPN-3 shows a high uranium adsorption uptake of 923.06 mg g-1 and reaches adsorption equilibrium within simply 10 min in uranium-spiked aqueous solution. Moreover, PPN-3 affords selective adsorption of uranyl over multiple metal ions and possesses a rapid and high removal rate of U(VI) in real water systems. Furthermore, this study offers direct polymerization strategy for the cost-effective fabrication of phosphate-functionalized porous organic polymers, which may provide promising application potential for uranium extraction.

A review on carbon-based biowaste and organic polymer materials for sustainable treatment of sulfonamides from pharmaceutical wastewater. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2024; 46:145. [PMID: 38568460 DOI: 10.1007/s10653-024-01936-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Frequent detection of sulfonamides (SAs) pharmaceuticals in wastewater has necessitated the discovery of suitable technology for their sustainable remediation. Adsorption has been widely investigated due to its effectiveness, simplicity, and availability of various adsorbent materials from natural and artificial sources. This review highlighted the potentials of carbon-based adsorbents derived from agricultural wastes such as lignocellulose, biochar, activated carbon, carbon nanotubes graphene materials as well as organic polymers such as chitosan, molecularly imprinted polymers, metal, and covalent frameworks for SAs removal from wastewater. The promising features of these materials including higher porosity, rich carbon-content, robustness, good stability as well as ease of modification have been emphasized. Thus, the materials have demonstrated excellent performance towards the SAs removal, attributed to their porous nature that provided sufficient active sites for the adsorption of SAs molecules. The modification of physico-chemical features of the materials have been discussed as efficient means for enhancing their adsorption and reusable performance. The article also proposed various interactive mechanisms for the SAs adsorption. Lastly, the prospects and challenges have been highlighted to expand the knowledge gap on the application of the materials for the sustainable removal of the SAs.

Abstract
In this study, we intricately designed and synthesized two isoreticular two-dimensional covalent organic framework nanosheets, namely TAPA-COF-1 and TAPA-COF-2, distinguished by their unique spatial arrangement of hydroxyl groups. These precisely engineered nanosheets were employed as a tailored platform for the selective capture of uranium, due to their tunable chelating sites and characteristic sheet-like morphology. Notably, TAPA-COF-1, featuring ortho-hydroxyl groups, demonstrated a significantly enhanced adsorption capacity for uranium capture originating from the additional oriented adjacent phenolic hydroxyl chelating sites in comparison to TAPA-COF-2 with para-hydroxyl groups, which was proved by theoretical calculation. The impressive features of TAPA-COF-1, including its notable selectivity, rapid adsorption kinetics, and high uptake capacity (657.2 mg g-1), endow it as a highly promising candidate for uranium capture.
