Abstract
A novel biomass-based magnetic nanoparticle (Fe3O4-P-CMC/PAMAM) was synthesized by crosslinking carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM), followed by phosphorylation with the incorporation of magnetic ferric oxide nanoparticles. The characterization results verified the successful functionalization and structural integrity of the adsorbents with a surface area of ca. 43 m2/g. Batch adsorption experiments revealed that the adsorbent exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 1513.47 mg·g-1 for U(VI) at pH 5.5 and 298.15 K, with Fe3O4-P-CMC/G1.5-2 showing the highest affinity among the series. The adsorption kinetics adhered to a pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.99, qe,exp = 463.81 mg·g-1, k2 = 2.15×10-2 g·mg-1·min-1), indicating a chemically driven process. Thermodynamic analysis suggested that the adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous (ΔH° = 14.71 kJ·mol-1, ΔG° = -50.63 kJ·mol-1, 298. 15 K), with increasing adsorption capacity at higher temperatures. The adsorbent demonstrated significant selectivity for U(VI) in the presence of competing cations, with Fe3O4-P-CMC/G1.5-2 showing a high selectivity coefficient. The performed desorption and reusability tests indicated that the adsorbent could be effectively regenerated using 1M HCl, maintaining its adsorption capacity after five cycles. XPS analysis highlighted the role of phosphonate and amino groups in the complexation with uranyl ions, and validated the existence of bimodal U4f peaks at 380.1 eV and 390.1 eV belonging to U 4f7/2 and U 4f5/2. The results of this study underscore the promise of the developed adsorbent as an effective and selective material for the treatment of uranium-contaminated wastewater.

Abstract
Novel two-dimensional (2D) oxides are of great interest for photocatalysis because of their superlative physical features, namely, large surface areas, short charge diffusion pathways, high crystallinity and easy surface modification. However, most 2D oxides suffer from weak visible light absorption and severe photogenerated carrier recombination. Nitrogen doping can successfully narrow the bandgap of 2D oxides but can hardly improve the charge separation. In this work, we pre-dope nitrogen into 2D titanate nanosheets (HTiO), followed by surface processing with solution plasma. By dual modification of nitrogen doping and solution plasma processing (SPP), the modified 2D titanate nanosheets (N-HTiO-SPP) display broad absorption extending to the visible light region and the healing of oxygen vacancies brought about by nitrogen doping. Compared with HTiO and nitrogen doped titanate (N-HTiO), a higher removal rate and mineralization rate towards the photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde were achieved over N-HTiO-SPP under solar light. This work provides a powerful way to activate 2D wide bandgap semiconductors for enhanced photocatalytic activity.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 231:116160. [PMID: 37209988 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Practical adsorbents with high efficiency are essential to effectively treating wastewater. Herein, a novel porous uranium adsorbent (PA-HCP) having a considerable amount of amine and phosphoryl groups was designed and synthesized by grafting polyethyleneimine (PEI) on a hyper-cross-linked fluorene-9-bisphenol skeleton via phosphoramidate linkers. Furthermore, it was used to treat uranium contamination in the environment. PA-HCP exhibited a large specific surface area (up to 124 m2/g) and a pore diameter of 2.5 nm. Batch uranium adsorptions on PA-HCP were investigated methodically. PA-HCP demonstrated a uranium sorption capacity of >300 mg/g in the pH range of 4-10 (C0 = 60 mg/L, T = 298.15 K), with its maximum capacity reaching 573.51 mg/g at pH = 7. The uranium sorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-order model and fitted well with the Langmuir isothermal. In the thermodynamic experiments, uranium sorption on PA-HCP was revealed to be an endothermic, spontaneous process. Even in the presence of competing metal ions, PA-HCP exhibited excellent sorption selectivity for uranium. Additionally, excellent recyclability can be achieved after six cycles. Based on FT-IR and XPS measurements, both the PO and -NH2 (and/or -NH-) groups on PA-HCP contributed to efficient uranium adsorption as a result of the strong coordination between these groups and uranium. Furthermore, the high hydrophilicity of the grafted PEI improved the dispersion of the adsorbents in water and facilitated uranium sorption. These findings suggest that PA-HCP can be used as an efficient and economical sorbent to remove U(VI) from wastewater.

Abstract
The separation of magnetic adsorbents from aqueous solutions is made simple by using an external magnetic field. Herein, magnetic Zr(IV)-ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (EDTMPA) hybrids (MZrOP-x-T, x, and T were the different quality of Fe3O4@C and temperature in the synthesis process, respectively). A study was conducted on the uses of MZrOP-x-T in the capture of U(VI). The influences of pH, adsorption period, initial concentration, and temperature were all investigated. Furthermore, the desorption and reusability of the materials were explored. The optimal values of x and T were 0.2 g and 100 °C, respectively. At 298.15 K, the maximum adsorption capacity of MZrOP-0.2-100 was 330.30 mg·g-1. The current research demonstrates that MZrOP-0.2-100 is a potentially effective material in removing U(VI) from radioactive solution.
