Abstract
The facile synthesis approach for the adsorbent preparation and recyclability during decontamination of radioactive pollutants is a significant concern in water treatment. The objective of this study is to, synthesis via solid-state reaction of the nanostructured CaTiO3 for the removal and recovery of strontium (Sr2+) from the various water sources. The influence of the adsorption-dependent parameters including, initial concentration, adsorbent dose, pH, contact time and co-existing ions interference were investigated. The prepared adsorbent was characterized by different analytical techniques like FT-IR, SEM with EDAX, TEM, TGA-DTG, Powder XRD and BET surface analysis. The kinetic models were also used, and according to the kinetic models, a pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.999) was better fitted to the adsorption of Sr2+ ions onto CaTiO3 rather than pseudo-first-order kinetics, which could properly represent the observed adsorption of Sr2+. For the isotherm study, the results are best fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.98) with a maximum adsorption capacity of 102.04 mg/g. The common ions (Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and K+) and Sr2+ having a concentration of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4, where 82.8, 79.5, and 68.2 % removal was achieved of Sr2+ in each respective matrix. In addition, the adsorption and corresponding recovery and removal for the different Sr2+spiked matrices in deionized water, tap water, well water, lake water, and seawater were investigated with 97, 65.6, 76.5, 73.9 and 17.8 % removal respectively. Also, the CaTiO3 showed excellent recyclability with minimal loss even after 5 consecutive recyclability cycles and >90% removal of strontium achieved. Hence, prepared nanostructured CaTiO3 could be considered a promising adsorbent for the removal and recovery of Sr2+ions from contaminated water bodies.

Abstract
The advancement of microbial fuel cell technology is rapidly growing, with extensive research and well-established methodologies for enhancing structural performance. This terminology attracts researchers to compare the MFC devices on a technological basis. The architectural and scientific successes of MFCs are only possible with the knowledge of engineering and technical fields. This involves the structure of MFCs, using substrates and architectural backbones regarding electrode advancement, separators and system parameter measures. Knowing about the MFCs facilitates the systematic knowledge of engineering and scientific principles. The current situation of rapid urbanization and industrial growth is demanding the augmented engineering goods and production which results in unsolicited burden on traditional wastewater treatment plants. Consequently, posing health hazards and disturbing aquatic veracity due to partial and untreated wastewater. Therefore, it's sensible to evaluate the performance of MFCs as an unconventional treatment method over conventional one to treat the wastewater. However, MFCs some benefits like power generation, stumpy carbon emission and wastewater treatment are the main reasons behind the implementation. Nonetheless, few challenges like low power generation, scaling up are still the major areas needs to be focused so as to make MFCs sustainable one. We have focused on few archetypes which majorities have been laboratory scale in operations. To ensure the efficiency MFCs are needed to integrate and compatible with conventional wastewater treatment schemes. This review intended to explore the diversification in architecture of MFCs, exploration of MFCs ingredients and to provide the foreseen platform for the researchers in one source, so as to establish the channel for scaling up the technology. Further, the present review show that the MFC with different polymer membranes and cathode and anode modification presents significant role for potential commercial applications after change the system form prototype to pilot scale.

Abstract
In this study, a novel organic-inorganic hybrid material IIGK@MnO2 (2-naphthalenemethyl-isoleucine-isoleucine-glycine-lysine@manganese dioxide) was designed as a novel adsorbent for the removal of strontium ions (Sr2+). The morphology and structure of IIGK@MnO2 were characterized using TEM, AFM, XRD, and XPS. The results indicate that the large specific surface area and abundant negative surface charges of IIGK@MnO2 make its surface rich in active adsorption sites for Sr2+ adsorption. As expected, IIGK@MnO2 exhibited excellent adsorbing performance for Sr2+. According to the adsorption results, the interaction between Sr2+ and IIGK@MnO2 can be fitted with the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order equation. Moreover, leaching and desorption experiments were conducted to assess the recycling capacity, demonstrating significant reusability of IIGK@MnO2.

Abstract
Technetium isotope 99Tc is a main radioactive waste produced in the process of nuclear reaction, which has the characteristics of long half-life and strong environmental mobility, and can be bio-accumulated in organisms, resulting in serious threat to human health and ecosystem. Adsorption method is widely used in the field of removing radionuclides from water due to the advantages of high treatment rate, simple and mature industrial application. In this review paper, the recent advances in research and application of various adsorption materials for 99Tc pollution treatment were summarized and analyzed for the first time, including inorganic adsorbents, such as activated carbon, zero-valent iron, metallic minerals, clay minerals, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), tin-based materials, and sulfur-based materials; organic adsorbents, such as porous organic polymers (POPs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and ion exchange resin; and biological adsorbents, such as biopolymers (chitosan, cellulose, alginate), and microbial cells. The performance characteristics and the adsorption kinetics and isotherms of various adsorption materials were discussed. This review could deepen the understanding of the adsorptive removal of 99Tc from aqueous solution, and provide a reference for the future research in this field.

Abstract
The separation and recovery of palladium from electronic waste (e-waste) are of great significance as they can alleviate environmental pollution and avoid resource loss. Herein, a novel nanofiber modified by 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ-Nanofiber) with adsorption sites co-constructed by N and O atoms of hard bases was fabricated, which has good affinity properties for the Pd(II) ions belonging to soft acid in the leachate of e-waste. The adsorption mechanism of 8-HQ-Nanofiber for Pd(II) ions was revealed from the perspective of molecular level relied on a series of characterizations, such as FT-IR, ss-NMR, Zeta potential, XPS, BET, SEM and DFT. The adsorption of Pd(II) ions on 8-HQ-Nanofiber reached equilibrium within 30 min and the maximum uptake capacity was 281 mg/g at 318.15 K. The adsorption behavior of Pd(II) ions by 8-HQ-Nanofiber was described by the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models. The 8-HQ-Nanofiber exhibited relatively good adsorption performance after 15 times of column adsorption. Finally, based on hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) theory, a strategy to regulate the Lewis alkalinity of adsorption sites by specific spatial structures is proposed, which provides a new direction for the design of adsorption sites.

Abstract
This study aimed to utilize synthesized graphene oxide (GO) for adsorptive removal of cobalt ions and investigate the adsorption mechanism using advanced techniques such as X-ray absorption spectra (XAFS). The GO was synthesized via an improved Hummers method, resulting in high surface area (93.7 m2/g) and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups. Various characterizations, including SEM, TEM, Raman, FT-IR, TG, potentiometric titrations, and N2 sorption-desorption measurements, were employed to characterize the GO. The adsorption behavior of GO towards Co2+ was investigated, and the results showed that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir model, with a maximum sorption capacity of 93.7 mg/g. The adsorption process was chemisorption and endothermic, with GO showing adsorption selectivity order of Co2+ > Sr2+ > Cs+. Based on various characterizations such as X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), FT-IR, and XPS, the sorption mechanism of Co2+ onto GO was discussed, with the results indicating that coordination and electrostatic interaction were the primary adsorption mechanisms, with oxygen-containing functional groups playing a vital role. The first coordinating atom for Co2+ was O, and the coordination environment was similar to that of cobalt acetate and CoO. Overall, this study provides comprehensive understanding of the adsorption behavior and mechanism of Co2+ onto GO, highlighting its potential as an effective adsorbent for removing nuclides from aqueous solution.

Abstract
A cross-linked chitosan/(MnFe2O4) CCsMFO nanocomposite was prepared using co-precipitation methods and used as a nanomaterial to extract U(VI) and Th(IV) from an aqueous solution based on adsorption phenomena. The contact time of experiments shows a rapid extraction process within 30 min by the CCsMFO nanocomposite. The solution pH acts a critical role in determining qm value, where pH 3.0 was the best pH value to extract both ions. The pseudo-second-order equilibrium model illustrated the kinetics equilibrium modal extraction process. Adsorption isotherm of U(VI) at pH 3.0 by CCsMFO nanocomposite is an endothermic process. In contrast, the adsorption isotherm of Th(IV) at pH 3.0 by CCsMFO nanocomposite is an exothermic process. The reusability of CCsMFO nanocomposite was tested using basic eluents as suitable conditions for the chemical stability of CCsMFO nanocomposite; the reusability results show promising results for the removal of U(VI) adsorbed onto CCsMFO nanocomposite with 77.27%, after 12 h by Na2CO3 as eluent. At the same time, the reusability results show good reusability for removal of U(VI) adsorbed onto CCsMFO nanocomposite with 21.82%, after 8 h by EDTA as eluent.

Abstract
Amaranthaceae are effective plants for cleaning soil contaminated by heavy metals and radionuclides. In this paper, Amaranthus tricolor was used to investigate the response of the plant photosynthesis to various concentration of strontium ions (0.2, 0.6, 3 and 6 mM), in order to determine the possibility of A. tricolor to remediate strontium contamination. The results showed that strontium ions (0.2-6 mM) had effect on light energy conversion and utilization in A. tricolor. Low level of strontium (0.2 mM) promoted the energy utilization in A. tricolor, while higher Sr concentration (3 mM or higher) increased the excess light energy in the plants. Under strontium stress of 6 mM, the acceptor side of PSII in A. tricolor leaves was more vulnerable to strontium stress than the donor side. Furthermore, strontium stress led to accumulation of QA- and block in QB downstream of the electron transfer chain in PSII of A. tricolor leaves. The tolerance ability of A. tricolor to strontium and remediation is also reflected in its biomass and strontium content in plants. Strontium at 3 mM or below promoted the growth of A. tricolor, while higher concentration inhibited the plant growth, but without obvious wilting or curling of leaves. The maximal dry weight increased by 36.29% in shoots, and 60.14% in roots when the spiked-strontium concentration reached 0.2 mM. The maximal strontium content achieved 8.75 mg/g dry wt in shoots, and 1.71 mg/g dry wt in roots respectively, when strontium concentration was 6 mM. Transfer factors (TFs: ratio of Sr content in shoots to that in roots) of strontium in A. tricolor ranged from 2.85 to 5.93, while bio-concentration factors (BCFs: ratio of Sr content in shoots to that in solutions) ranged from 22.57 to 49.66. In summary, A. tricolor showed the excellent potential to remediate strontium contamination.

Abstract
While nuclear energy with zero carbon emissions will continue to occupy an indispensable position in future scenarios for power generation, the proper disposal of nuclear waste is still highly challenging in many countries. Adsorption is currently one of the primary methods used for removal of cesium from wastewater. However, no available literature has systematically summarized advances and outlooks on the adsorptive removal of cesium, and research issues such as relevant adsorption mechanisms remain largely unexplored. In this study, a bibliometric analysis was used to quantitatively analyze 10141 publications in the Web of Science Core Collection that were published from 1900 to 2022. Current publication trends and active countries, most influential authors and institutions, journal distribution, and research hotspots and trends were reviewed and summarized. The results for the conceptual structure and evolution of investigations in this field showed three distinct periods of rapid development in recent decades. The first period concerned the scope, degree, and influences of pollution by cesium and the development of natural adsorbents. The second period included the exploration and verification of adsorption mechanisms, the fabrication and optimization of new materials, and the application of density functional theory for chemical calculations. The third period involved the development of more advanced biodegradable, nanoscale and synthetic materials with great potential for use as adsorbents as well as advances in engineering applications. Notably, the study showed that it is necessary to further enhance application-driven laboratory investigations. Future directions for research were proposed, such as the investigation of complex adsorption mechanisms, development of new materials, and engineering applications of materials developed in the laboratory. The findings will provide valuable insights and serve as a reference for researchers and policymakers as they address the adsorptive remediation of cases of pollution by cesium.

Abstract
Selective and effective adsorptive removal of radiocesium is of great importance in terms of nuclear waste management and environmental remediation, but is still challenging because of its radioactive and non-complexing nature. Herein, metal hexacyanoferrates (MHCF, M = Cu, Co, or Ni) modified fibrous chitosan was prepared by multiple sequential adsorption and self-assembly approach, and applied for the selective and effective adsorption of Cs+. The physically supported MHCF in chitosan fibers showed good crystallinity and stability, and the obtained fibrous composite has high specific surface area (18.2-29.4 m2 g-1). Moreover, MHCF crystals endowed the fibrous chitosan-based adsorbent with a high adsorption capacity and selectivity towards Cs+. Its adsorption kinetic and isotherm performance followed the pseudo second-order model and the Sips model. The qm value of three fibrous MHCF/chitosan (M = Cu, Co, or Ni) composites was 24.9-70.3 mg g-1. The fibrous CuHCF/chitosan composite had the highest qm among the three composites. In summary, the modified chitosan can selectively and effectively remove Cs+ from complicated aqueous solutions.

Abstract
In this study, a novel fibrous chitosan biosorbent was prepared using LiOH/KOH/urea/H2O (4.5:7:8:80.5 by weight) as spinning solvent. The fibrous chitosan exhibited a higher adsorption capacity and a faster adsorption rate for Co2+ and Sr2+, compared with spherical chitosan due to its high specific surface area (16.9 m2 g-1), uniform fineness (24.1 μm), and good mechanical strength. The adsorption capacity of fibrous chitosan for Co2+ and Sr2+ was 31.3 mg g-1 and 20.0 mg g-1, respectively, which was higher than that of spherical chitosan (22.5 mg g-1for Co2+ and 8.9 mg g-1 for Sr2+). The coordination between -NH2/-OH of chitosan and the nuclide ions was the rate-limiting step. The improvement of adsorption performance was due to the higher specific surface area which increased the exposure degree of functional groups (adsorptive sites). This new wet-spun fibrous chitosan biosorbent showed great potential in the adsorptive removal of nuclides ions from aqueous solution.

Abstract
90Sr-containing radioactive wastewater during Fukushima nuclear accident (FNA) aroused extensive consideration for its disposal. Massive coexisted Na+ ions seriously inhibited Sr2+ removal, aggravating the expenditure of radioactive wastewater treatment. Herein, a chestnut shell derived porous carbon material modified with aryl diazonium salt (ADS) of sodium 4-aminoazobenzene-4'-sulfonate (SPAC) was developed as capacitive deionization electrode for selective removal of Sr2+ from saliferous radioactive wastewater. Based on ADS modification, the Sr2+ electrosorption capacity of SPAC electrode was improved to 33.11 mg g-1 with fast ion removal rate of 2.89 mg g-1 min-1, comparing with only 16.10 mg g-1 before modification. The isothermal adsorption and kinetics by SPAC electrode fitted well with Langmuir and pseudo-second-order model, achieving a maximum Sr2+ electrosorption capacity of 58.21 mg g-1, superior cycling stability, and excellent charge efficiency (77.63%). Fascinatingly, the SPAC electrode exhibited superhigh Sr2+ selectivity of 70.65 against Na+ in Na+-Sr2+ mixed solution with molar ratio of Na+:Sr2+ as 20:1. Density functional theory (DFT) simulation, combining with electrochemical and spectral analyses, revealed that the high overlap of electron cloud between Sr2+ ion and anionic sulfonic group (-SO3-) provided SPAC with remarkable selectivity of Sr2+ ion, and illustrated the ion-swapping mechanism of Sr2+ selectivity.

Abstract
While enjoying the convenience of nuclear energy development, the environmental contamination by radionuclide leakage is of significant concern. Because of its cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness, biochar has attracted a lot of attention in the field of radioactive water treatment. Herein, a novel teak peel modified biochar (labeled as PMBN3) was prepared and applied to remove strontium from artificial seawater. The characterisation of the prepared PMBN3 showed it contains numerous oxygen-containing functional groups (i.e. carboxyl and hydroxyl groups), laminar morphology, mesoporous structure, large specific surface area. PMBN3 exhibited great advantages in Sr(II) adsorption, such as rapid adsorption kinetics (<1 h for equilibrium) and superior reusability. The adsorption of strontium by biochar is consistent with pseudo-second order and internal diffusion kinetic models. Among the four types of adsorption isotherms, the Freundlich isotherm showed the best fit with R2 > 0.98. The calculated thermodynamic parameters indicate that strontium adsorption on biochar occurs exothermically and spontaneously. Furthermore, for efficient removal of Sr(II), CO2 nanobubbles were blown into artificial seawater to precipitate the interfering metal ions, and followed by the adsorption of PMBN3 towards residual metal ions with the removal rate of Sr(II) over 99.7%. Finally, mechanistic studies have shown that the strontium adsorption process by PMBN3 is a multiple adsorption mechanism consisting of ion exchange between H+ (from -OH and -COOH) and Sr(II), and weak intermolecular forces between Sr(II) and the PMBN3 adsorbent. This study creatively combines chemisorption and nanobubble precipitation for strontium removal, which provides great reference value and guidance for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Development of polymeric magnetic adsorbents is a promising approach to obtain efficient treatment of contaminated water. However, the synthesis of magnetic composites involving multiple components frequently involves tedious preparation steps. In the present study, a magnetic chitosan-palygorskite (MCP) nanocomposite was prepared through a straight-forward one pot synthesis approach to evaluate its lead (Pb2+) removal capacity from aqueous solution. The nano-architectural and physicochemical properties of the newly-developed MCP composite were described via micro- and nano-morphological analyses, and crystallinity, surface porosity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The MCP nanocomposite was capable to remove up to 58.5 mg Pb2+ g-1 of MCP from water with a good agreement of experimental data to the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.98). The Pb2+ adsorption process on MCP was a multistep diffusion-controlled phenomenon evidenced by the well-fitting of kinetic adsorption data to the intra-particle diffusion model (R2 = 0.96). Thermodynamic analysis suggested that the adsorption process at low Pb2+ concentration was controlled by chemisorption, whereas that at high Pb2+ concentration was dominated by physical adsorption. X-ray photoelectron and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results suggested that the Pb adsorption on MCP was governed by surface complexation and chemical reduction mechanisms. During regeneration, the MCP retained 82% Pb2+ adsorption capacity following four adsorption-desorption cycles with ease to recover the adsorbent using its strong magnetic property. These findings highlight the enhanced structural properties of the easily-prepared nanocomposite which holds outstanding potential to be used as an inexpensive and green adsorbent for remediating Pb2+ contaminated water.

Abstract
In this study, a new adsorbent, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and graphene oxide (GO), was prepared, characterized and used for the removal of Sr2+ from aqueous solution. In PVA/GO composite, the inter-lamellar spacing of adjacent GO layers was dramatically enlarged due to the intercalation of PVA molecules, such a unique architecture significantly mitigated the aggregation of GO layers, which facilitated the accessible exposure of active sites and the mass transfer of strontium ions (Sr2+), thus enhancing the adsorption capacity toward Sr2+. The adsorption of Sr2+ by PVA/GO composite conformed to the pseudo second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.9994), the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.9042), and the Freundlich model (R2 = 0.9598). The complexation interaction between Sr2+ and oxygen atoms/π-electron domain of PVA/GO composite was primarily responsible for the adsorption mechanism, based on the characterization results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersion spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD).

Abstract
Nickel (Ni) is one of the most common heavy metals. In this study, nano-sized magnetic ion-imprinted polymers (MIIPs) were synthesized using chitosan as the functional monomer, and used for selective adsorption and recovery of Ni(II) from solutions. The results showed MIIPs possessed high sorption selectivity for Ni(II), and the change in pH (5.0-9.0) exerted insignificant influence on the ion adsorption, allowing almost complete elution and recovery of adsorbed Ni(II) ions by using 0.5% EDTA-Na solution. Moreover, the sorption capacity of the recycled MIIPs decreased by only about 10% after 15 adsorption-desorption cycles. The time required for establishing the adsorption equilibrium was less than 1 h. The sorption process was predominant and endothermic, and could be well described by both Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Therefore, the synthesized MIIPs was a suitable adsorbent for highly selective, fast and efficient removal and recovery of low-concentration Ni(II) ions from wastewaters.

Abstract
In this study, a novel adsorbent, polyvinyl alcohol/graphene oxide/MnO2 composite was prepared, characterized and used for efficient removal of Co2+ and Sr2+ from aqueous solution. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Mn2+ played a synergistic role in the gelation of PVA/GO/Mn2+, while Mn2+ can be further converted into oxide to achieve functionalized aerogel (PVA/GO/MnO2). The spectroscopy analysis manifested that hydrogen bonds and electrostatic attraction were responsible for the formation of PVA/GO/MnO2. The functionalization of MnO2 enhanced the adsorption capacity for Co2+ (2.1 folds) and Sr2+ (1.3 folds) by PVA/GO/MnO2. The composite showed high adsorption capacity at broad pH range of 4.0-9.0. For competitive adsorption test, Ni2+/Zn2+ exerted the most interfering effect on Co2+ adsorption, while Mg2+/Ca2+ showed severe interfering effect on Sr2+ adsorption. Both electrostatic attraction and oxygen-containing groups contributed to the adsorption mechanism. This study may provide a new adsorbent for separation of Co2+ and Sr2+ from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Existence of human beings in this world require a cleaner environment, in which, water is the main requirement for living. Owing to the considerable development in civilisation and considerable population explosion, an increase in the contamination of natural water resources by means of non-biodegradable contaminants like heavy metals is observed thereby increasing the need for treatment of water before usage. Despite the existence of specific limits for disposal of heavy metals in water resources, studies still show high contamination of heavy metals in all these water resources. This review provides a brief note on sources and toxicity of different heavy metals in various oxidation states, their effects as well as highlights the numerous available and advanced techniques for heavy metals removal. Of all techniques adsorption is found to be beneficial as it doesn't inculcate any secondary pollutants to the environment. Additionally, this article has investigated the advantages of polymer nanocomposites in adsorption and mainly focused on biopolymer chitosan owing to its abundance in natural environment. The cleaner techniques for the extraction of chitosan and its functionalisation using different types of nanofillers are comprehensively discussed in this review. This article suggests a better alternative for conventional adsorbents as well as aids in remediation of wastes.

Abstract
The need to effectively and selectively remove radioactive 137Cs and 90Sr from nuclear waste solutions persists to mitigate their environmental mobility and high radiotoxicity. Because it is difficult to effectively remove them from acidic environments that degrade most sorbents, new sorbent materials are highly desirable. Here, efficient removal of Cs+ and Sr2+ is achieved by the composite of layered tin sulfide (Me2NH2)4/3(Me3NH)2/3Sn3S7·1.25H2O (FJSM-SnS) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) (FJSM-SnS/PAN). The granulous composite possesses regular particle morphology and good mechanical strength as an engineered form. It shows excellent acid-base and γ-irradiation resistance, high maximum adsorption capacities (qm) of 296.12 and 62.88 mg/g for Cs+ and Sr2+ ions, respectively, and high selectivity even in the presence of excess Na+ ions or using lake water. Impressively, qmCs of FJSM-SnS/PAN reaches 89.29 mg/g under even acidic conditions (pH = 2.5). The column loaded with FJSM-SnS/PAN granules exhibits high removal rates (R) toward low-concentration Cs+ and Sr2+ ions under both neutral and acidic conditions. Moreover, the composite can be recycled and reused with high RCs and RSr. This work highlights the great potential of metal sulfide ion-exchangers in engineered form for the efficient removal of Cs+ or Sr2+ ions, especially under acidic conditions, for radionuclide remediation.

Huo J, Yu G, Wang J. Selective adsorption of cesium (I) from water by Prussian blue analogues anchored on 3D reduced graphene oxide aerogel. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 761:143286.

Abstract
In this paper, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) anchored on 3D reduced graphene aerogel (denoted as 3D rGO/PBAs) was prepared, characterized and applied for adsorption of Cs(I) from aqueous solution. The results showed that 3D rGO/PBAs had high specific surface and good hydrophilic property, which was beneficial to the exposure of adsorptive sites and the transfer of adsorbates. The composite exhibited excellent adsorption performance towards Cs(I), and the maximum adsorption capacity was up to 204.9 mg/g, higher than most of reported values. The pseudo second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.999) and the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.997) could fit the adsorption process well, suggesting the nature of homogeneous monolayer chemisorption. High distribution coefficients (kd) (2.8 × 104 to 5.8 × 104 mL/g), revealed that the composite had good selectivity. Ion-exchange, ion trapping and the complexation interaction might be involved in the process of cesium adsorption, in which ion-exchange may be dominant by characterization results.

Abstract
Growing concern over the hazardous effect of radionuclides on the environment is driving research on mitigation and deposition strategies for radioactive waste management. Currently, there are many techniques used for radionuclides separation from the environment such as ion exchange, solvent extraction, chemical precipitation and adsorption. Adsorbents are the leading area of research and many useful materials are being discovered in this category of radionuclide ion separation. The adsorption technologies lack the ability of selective removal of metal ions from solution. This drawback is eliminated by the use of ion-imprinted polymers, these materials having targeted binding sites for specific ions in the media. In this review article, we present recently published literature about the use of ion-imprinted polymers for the adsorption of 10 important hazardous radionuclides-U, Th, Cs, Sr, Ce, Tc, La, Cr, Ni, Co-found in the nuclear fuel cycle.

Abstract
Radioactive cesium ion (Cs-137) removal from wastewater was investigated by novel composite adsorbents, chitosan-bone powder (CS-KT) and chitosan-bone powder-iron oxide (CS-KT-M) at 25 and 50 °C. The characterization of adsorbents was performed by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Barrett-Joyner-Hallenda (BET-BJH), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analyses. While BET surface areas of CS-KT and CS-KT-M adsorbents were found to be 131.5 and 144.9 m2/g, respectively, average pore size and pore volume values were 4.69 nm/0.154 cm3/g and 7.49 nm/0.271 cm3/g, respectively. Amongst Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) models, Langmuir model fits well for Cs+ ion sorption by these adsorbents. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from Langmuir adsorption isotherm was 0.98 × 10-4 mol/g at 25 °C, and 1.16 × 10-4 mol/g at 50 °C for CS-KT; it was found to be 1.79 × 10-4 mol/g at 25 °C and 2.24 × 10-4 mol/g at 50 °C for CS-KT-M. FT-IR analyses showed that Cs+ sorption occurs by its interaction with CO32-, PO43- and -NH2 groups. The average adsorption energy "E" was calculated as ca.11 kJ/mol from D-R adsorption isotherm. The adsorption kinetics was interpreted well by pseudo-second order model.

Abstract
The electro-assisted adsorptive removal of Sr2+ and Cs+ ions from aqueous solution by capacitive deionization (CDI) was studied using activated carbon cloth (ACC) as electrode. Various influencing factors, including initial concentration and the applied voltage, on the removal efficiency of Sr2+ and Cs+ were examined. The results showed that ACC electrode had a large amount of oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups. The removal efficiency of Sr2+ and Cs+ was 40.58% and 62.05%, respectively, which decreased when their initial concentration increased from 3 to 20 mg L-1. The removal efficiency of Sr2+ and Cs+ increased by 26.64% and 17.84% with increase of the applied voltage. CDI process is favorable to remove high valence ions due to the ion-exchange and charge interaction mechanisms. The mixed-order (MO) model could fit the adsorption kinetics of Sr2+ and Cs+ (R2 = 0.938). The Redlich-Peterson isotherm could be used for Sr2+ and Cs+ adsorption. After adsorption, Sr and Cs partly deposited on the surface of the ACC, which did not change the surface structure of the ACC electrode.

Abstract
In this study, a new composite of activated carbon cloth/graphene oxide (ACC/GO) was prepared, characterized and used as electrode material for the electro-assisted adsorptive removal of Co2+ and Cs+ from aqueous solution. The ACC/GO composite was synthesized by a vacuum filtration method, and characterized by cyclic voltammetry and various surface characterization methods. Effect of applied voltage and initial concentration of Co2+ and Cs+ on their removal efficiency was examined. The kinetics and isotherms of Co2+ and Cs+ adsorption were investigated to explain the adsorption mechanism. At 0 V, the removal efficiency of Co2+ and Cs+ was 10.1% and 21.4%; at 1.2 V, electro-assistance increased the removal efficiency of Co2+ and Cs+ to 40.8% and 39.7%, respectively. Moreover, ACC/GO composite electrode had higher adsorption capacity compared to the pristine ACC electrode, due to its higher specific surface area and more oxygen-containing functional groups. The maximum adsorption capacity of Co2+ and Cs+ was 16.7 mg g-1 and 22.9 mg g-1, respectively at 1.2 V and 20 mg L-1 by ACC/GO composite electrode. The modeling and experimental results demonstrated that the removal mechanism involved in physical adsorption, chemical adsorption, and electro-adsorption. Overall, the prepared ACC/GO composite electrode had high capacitive deionization performance in removing heavy metal ions from wastewater.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are becoming ubiquitous pollutants in the global environments, which can potentially sorb metals ions in aquatic environments, causing adverse consequences. The interaction between Sr2+ and MPs, and the involved mechanisms have not been studied. Here we investigated the sorption behaviors of Sr2+ by polyamide (PA), polystyrene (PS), and polypropylene (PP). Three phenomenological mathematical models were developed and applied to describe the rate-limiting step in the sorption process. The molecular dynamic (MD) simulation was also conducted to investigate the sorption mechanism. The results showed that the optimum isotherm was presented by the nonlinear Temkin model. The maximum sorption capacities of Sr2+ by PA, PS and PP were 31.8, 51.4 and 52.4 μg g-1, respectively, with the initial Sr2+concentration of 3400 μg L-1. The phenomenological models adequately described the sorption kinetics data, concluding that the internal diffusion was the limiting step for Sr2+ sorption onto PS; while the external and internal diffusion were the slowest steps in the case of PA and PP. The MD study revealed that the main sorption mechanism was electrostatic interaction. The interaction energies of PA-SrCl2, PS-SrCl2, and PP-SrCl2 were -5.638, -6.418, and -13.05 kcal mol-1.

Abstract
Adsorption is widely applied separation process, especially in environmental remediation, due to its low cost and high efficiency. Adsorption isotherm models can provide mechanism information of the adsorption process, which is important for the design of adsorption system. However, the classification, physical meaning, application and solving method of the isotherms have not been systematical analyzed and summarized. In this paper, the adsorption isotherms were classified into adsorption empirical isotherms, isotherms based on Polanyi's theory, chemical adsorption isotherms, physical adsorption isotherms, and the ion exchange model. The derivation and physical meaning of the isotherm models were discussed in detail. In addition, the application of the isotherm models were analyzed and summarized based on over 200 adsorption equilibrium data in literature. The statistical parameters for evaluating the fitness of the models were also discussed. Finally, a user interface (UI) was developed based on Excel software for solving the isotherm models, which was provided in supplemental material and can be easily used to model the adsorption equilibrium data. This paper will provide theoretical basis and guiding methodology for the selection and use of the adsorption isotherms.

Abstract
Magnetic chitosan beads (MCSB), prepared from solution by using an external magnet, and the adsorption of Ni(II) ions from wastewater by MCSB and its cross-linked derivative with glutaraldehyde (GLU-MCSB) was investigated in an adsorption system. The GLU-MCSB sorbents are insoluble in aqueous acidic solution and improve adsorption capacity. The adsorption process was carried out by considering various parameters, viz. adsorbent dose, contact time, pH and temperature. Thermogravimetric analysis of beads shows that degradation takes place in two stages. Fourier transform infra-red spectra of magnetic beads exhibit an absorption band at 606 cm-1 for Fe-O. The elemental analysis (energy dispersive X-ray analysis) and scanning electron microscopy were used to analyze the structure and characteristics of MCSB and GLU-MCSB. The Ni(II) removal efficiency attains a highest value of 95.12% with cross-linked GLU-MCSB in comparison to 79.5% with MCSB. Adsorption processes follow the pseudo-second-order rate kinetics model, which suggested that the rate-limiting step may be the chemical adsorption rather than the mass transport. The experimental data of adsorption fitted well with the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms with a high correlation coefficient (R2 > 0.9), showing that monolayer adsorption took place on the surface of GLU-MCSB absorbents. The negative values of entropy change, -175.64 and -163.30 J/(mol·K), and enthalpy change, -54.75 and -49.58 kJ/mol, for MCSB and GLU-MCSB suggest that the process is spontaneous and exothermic in nature.

Abstract
In light of the fact that two with good compatibility are better than one, the homo-interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) strategy was used in this work to design novel amidoxime (AOX)-interpenetrating networks into porous silica (PSi) with the final aim to enhance the sorption performances of composite sorbents toward Cs+ and Sr2+. To achieve this goal, first, a homo-IPN of poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) was constructed inside the channels of two kinds of porous silica, one mesoporous (PSi1) and one macroporous (PSi2), the textural properties of silica being exploited in controlling the sorption performances of the composites. The novel composites were fully characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the nitrogen sorption/desorption isotherms (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis). The sorption properties of the PSi1/AOX and PSi2/AOX composite sorbents for Sr2+ and Cs+ were investigated in the batch mode to determine the effect of solution pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentration, temperature, and the presence of competitive ions on the adsorption performances. The fast kinetics of sorption was supported by the fact that ∼80% of Sr2+ and ∼65% of Cs+ were adsorbed in the first 30 min, the kinetic data being better described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The experimental isotherms were well fitted by the Langmuir and Sips isotherm models. The superadsorption of Sr2+ and Cs+ is demonstrated by the values of the maximum sorption capacity of the best sorbent constructed with mesoporous silica (PSi1/IPN-AOX), which were 344.23 mg Cs+/g and 360.23 mg Sr2+/g. The sorption process was spontaneous and endothermic for both metal ions. The presence of interfering cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+), at a concentration of 10-2 M, only slightly influenced the sorption capacity for the main cation. The composite sorbents were still highly efficient after five sorption/desorption cycles.

Abstract
Sodium lauryl sulfate-loaded polyacrylonitrile (SLSLPAN) was synthesized in the present investigation using an in-situ one step process through gamma radiation-induced polymerization. The structure, composition, surface area and pore size and volume of the employed adsorbent were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements. Adsorption of radioactive strontium(II) onto SLSLPAN was studied in the pH range 3-13. Batch kinetic data showed that the equilibrium was attained at 840 min and the pseudo-first-order was the best kinetic model for describing the kinetic data of the present adsorption process. The diffusion of strontium(II) into SLSLPAN was deeply studied using four diffusion models, namely, Bangham, Boyd, Weber-Morris and Mathewas-Weber models. Two-parameter (Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin) and three-parameter (Redlich-Peterson, Toth and Generalized) isotherm models were used to analyze the adsorption equilibrium data of strontium(II) onto SLSLPAN. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated by the Generalized isotherm model is found to be 0.391 mmol strontium(II) per gram of SLSLPAN. The estimated mean free energy (E = 2.151 kJ/mol) indicated that strontium(II) radionuclides were physically adsorbed onto SLSLPAN. The value of enthalpy change (ΔHo = 35.325 kJ/mol) and those of free energy change (ΔGo = -15.278, -16.948, -18.619 and -20.288 at 303, 313, 323 and 333 K, respectively) confirmed that adsorption of strontium(II) radionuclides on SLSLPAN was endothermic and spontaneous process.

Introduction of magnetic nanoparticles into composite sorbents based on polymer matrices has received great attention due to the possibility of using cheap iron oxides and removing spent sorbents by means of magnetic separation. In the present paper, we discuss the problem of creating magnetic sorbents using two types of matrices as host materials: synthetic cation exchange resin and natural aminopolysaccharide chitosan. The possibilities of applying matrices for the in situ formation of oxide phases of a specified composition with the required content of an inorganic component in a composite material were estimated. The composition of the oxide phase formed in the composite material was studied, and particle sizes were evaluated by the method of X-ray diffraction analysis. Magnetic characteristics were investigated. Sorption characteristics with respect to strontium for the composites containing iron oxides were determined.

Abstract
The article describes the synthesis of composite sorbents by immobilizing iron oxide in a polymer matrix with subsequent hydrothermal treatment at a temperature of 175 °C. The sorbents based on magnetite and hematite were synthesized, their magnetic properties and phase composition were evaluated, and the iron content was determined. Sorption characteristics of the composites towards microconcentrations of Sr-90 radionuclide in solutions with different mineralization and pH were investigated. It was shown that the sorbent based on magnetite was the most efficient. In alkaline media with pH above 11, the composite sorbent based on magnetite exhibited increased selectivity towards Sr-90 and proved to be suitable for application under dynamic sorption conditions with subsequent desorption of the radionuclide with a solution of HNO3.

Abstract
Electro-enhanced removal of cobalt (Co) ions from aqueous solution by capacitive deionization (CDI) was investigated in this study. The effect of applied voltage and initial Co ions concentration, as well as coexisted ions on removal efficiency of Co ions was determined. Co ions adsorption performance was also evaluated by kinetic models, isotherm models and three mass transfer models. The results indicated that the removal efficiency of Co ions had positive correlation with applied voltage (R2 = 0.9991), which increased from 15.11% to 36.54% when the applied voltage increased from 0 V to 1.2 V. However, the removal efficiency of Co ions decreased gradually from 36.54% to 9.51% with the increasing initial Co ions concentration from 5 to 30 mg L-1. The coexisted ions (Sr and Cs) also largely inhibited the removal efficiency of Co ions and make it reduce to 8.37%. After fitting the adsorption data, pseudo-second order (PSO) model was better than pseudo-first order (PFO) for each applied voltage and initial concentration. A monolayer adsorption is the main adsorption mechanism of Co ions adsorption on the activated carbon cloth (ACC) because of the higher regression coefficient (0.964) by Langmuir isotherm. Based on kinetics together with the equilibrium isotherm, three mass transfer models were established and adsorption of the ions onto the active sites (AAS) model is the rate-limiting step due to the best fitting for the kinetic adsorption data of Co ions on ACC electrode. In addition, the Co ions were uniformly distributed on ACC electrode after adsorption.

Abstract
There is a need for developing new sorbents that incorporate renewable resources for the treatment of metal-containing solutions. Algal-polyethyleneimine beads (APEI) (reinforced with alginate) are functionalized by grafting amidoxime groups (AO-APEI). Physicochemical characteristics of the new material are characterized using FTIR, XPS, TGA, SEM, SEM-EDX, and BET. AO-APEI beads are tested for the recovery of Sr(II) from synthetic solutions after pH optimization (≈ pH 6). Uptake kinetics is fast (equilibrium ≈ 60-90 min). Sorption isotherm (fitted by the Langmuir equation) shows remarkable sorption capacity (≈ 189 mg Sr g-1). Sr(II) is desorbed using 0.2 M HCl/0.5 M CaCl2 solution; sorbent recycling over five cycles shows high stability in terms of sorption/desorption performances. The presence of competitor cations is studied in relation to the pH; the selectivity for Sr(II) is correlated to the softness parameter. Finally, the recovery of Sr(II) is carried out in complex solutions (seawater samples): AO-APEI is remarkably selective over highly concentrated metal cations such as Na(I), K(I), Mg(II), and Ca(II), with weaker selectivity over B(I) and As(V). AO-APEI appears to be a promising material for selective recovery of strontium from complex solutions (including seawater).

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared, characterized, and applied for adsorption of Sr(II) in aqueous solution. The adsorption capacity was calculated to be 137.80 mg/g according to the Langmuir model. The observation by scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray detector (SEM-EDX), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the crystal structure of Sr compound on the surface of graphene sheets. The analyses by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated the involvement of O-C=O, C-O, and C-O-C groups during the adsorption. The X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis provided the detail information of GO-Sr composites, and the fitting results were given by Sr(HCOO)2 and SrCO3 model, and the coordination numbers (CN) and interatomic distances (R) of Sr-O shell and Sr-C shell were calculated. The adsorption mechanism of Sr(II) was attributed to complexation between Sr and the acidic oxygen-containing groups, which lead to the agglomeration of graphene oxide. Two types of crystals were proposed. Type 1 was formed by coordination between Sr(II) and O-C=O groups, and type 2 was formed by coordination between Sr(II) and C-O/C-O-C groups.
