JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH. PART A, TOXIC/HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING 2024; 59:280-294. [PMID: 39044350 DOI: 10.1080/10934529.2024.2380956] [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: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
This study proposes the use of diglycolamic acid-functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (HDGA-gCN) as an adsorbent for uranium removal. Our experiments showed that at pH 6.0, HDGA-gCN had a high adsorption capacity of 263.2 mg g-1 and achieved equilibrium in 30 min. The adsorption isotherm was well-fitted by the Langmuir model, and the adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order equation. U(VI) adsorption on HDGA-gCN is due to electrostatic interactions between the amine, diglycolamic acid, and uranium species. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that adsorption is spontaneous and exothermic. The loaded U(VI) can be desorbed using 0.1 M Na2CO3, and HDGA-gCN exhibited an exceptional adsorption percentage for U(VI) compared to other coexisting ions. HDGA-gCN had faster kinetics, adsorption capacity, and reusability, making it suitable for U(VI) remediation.

Abstract
Uranium extraction from seawater (UES) is recognized as one of the seven pivotal chemical separations with the potential to revolutionize global paradigms. The forthcoming decade is anticipated to witness a surge in UES, driven by escalating energy demands. The oceanic reservoirs, possessing uranium quantities approximately 1000-fold higher than terrestrial mines, present a more sustainable and environmentally benign alternative. Empirical evidence from historical research indicates that adsorption emerges as the most efficacious process for uranium recovery from seawater, considering operational feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and selectivity. Over the years, scientific exploration has led to the development of a plethora of adsorbents with superior adsorption capacity. It would be efficient to design materials with a deep understanding of the adsorption from the perspective of kinetics and thermodynamics. Here, we summarize recent advancements in UES technology and the contemporary challenges encountered in this domain. Furthermore, we present our perspectives on the future trajectory of UES and finally offer our insights into this subject.

Abstract
Population growth, urbanization, and decarbonization efforts are collectively straining the supply of limited resources that are necessary to produce batteries, electronics, chemicals, fertilizers, and other important products. Securing the supply chains of these critical resources via the development of separation technologies for their recovery represents a major global challenge to ensure stability and security. Surface water, groundwater, and wastewater are emerging as potential new sources to bolster these supply chains. Recently, a variety of material-based technologies have been developed and employed for separations and resource recovery in water. Judicious selection and design of these materials to tune their properties for targeting specific solutes is central to realizing the potential of water as a source for critical resources. Here, the materials that are developed for membranes, sorbents, catalysts, electrodes, and interfacial solar steam generators that demonstrate promise for applications in critical resource recovery are reviewed. In addition, a critical perspective is offered on the grand challenges and key research directions that need to be addressed to improve their practical viability.

Abstract
In this research, an imidazolium-based polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) gel was effectively synthesized in one step via electron beam (EB) radiation technology. The synthesized gel with gel fraction of 78% under 80 kGy was used for the adsorption and separation of Re(VII) and U(VI). The structure of the gel was characterized by FTIR, SEM, BET, and XPS. Furthermore, batch adsorption was experimented to explore its performance of Re(VII) and U(VI) removal. The two adsorption processes all more fitted the Langmuir isotherm model with the maximum adsorption capacities of 892.9 mg/g for Re(VII) and 243.9 mg/g for U(VI). The adsorption reached equilibrium within 1 min for Re(VII), while within 4 min for U(VI), showing its greatly rapid adsorption rate because of its three-dimensional porous network structure. In addition, the separation experiments of Re/U replied that PIL gel could effectively separate Re(VII) from the simulated uranium leaching solution. Regeneration experiments present the good reusability of PIL gel. This work demonstrated the practical application of EB-radiation technology in the synthesis of PIL gel, which is a promising adsorbent for Re(VII) and U(VI) recovery .

Effects of Impregnated Amidophosphonate Ligand Concentration on the Uranium Extraction Behavior of Mesoporous Silica. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27144342. [PMID: 35889214 PMCID: PMC9316337 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27144342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A series of solid-phase uranium extractants were prepared by post-synthesis impregnation of a mesoporous silica support previously functionalized with octyl chains by direct silanization. Five materials were synthesized with 0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mmol of the amidophosphonate ligand DEHCEBP per gram of functionalized solid, and the effect of the ligand concentration on the uranium extraction efficiency and selectivity of the materials was investigated. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption data show that with increasing ligand loadings, the specific surface area and average pore volume decrease as the amidophosphonate ligand fills first the micropores and then the mesopores of the support. Acidic uranium solutions with a high sulfate content were used to replicate the conditions in ore treatment leaching solutions. Considering the extraction kinetics, the equilibration time was found to increase with the ligand concentration, which can be explained by the clogging of micropores and the multilayer arrangement of the DEHCEBP molecules in the materials with their highest ligand contents. The fact that the equilibrium ligand/uranium ratio is about 2 mol/mol regardless of the ligand concentration in the material suggests that all the ligand molecules remain accessible for extraction. The maximum uranium extraction capacities ranged from 30 mg∙g−1 at 0.2 mmol∙g−1 DEHCEBP to 54 mg∙g−1 in the material with 0.5 mmol∙g−1 DEHCEBP. These materials could therefore potentially be used as solid-phase uranium extractants in acidic solutions with high sulfate concentrations.

Abstract
In this study carbon nanofibers (CNF) were phosphorylated by using ortho-phosphoric acid and applied for adsorptive remediation of uranium from water. The phosphorylated carbon nanofibers (PCNF) showed 96% removal of uranium as compared to 79% by CNF. The adsorption data from batch adsorption studies fitted well with the Langmuir model and a maximum adsorption capacity of 512.8 mg g−1 was obtained at pH 6.0 while the adsorption followed pseudo second order kinetics. A detailed characterisation of the adsorbent has been carried out using various analytical and spectroscopic tools. The application of the adsorbent to ground water samples exhibited promising results even in the presence of other interfering cations and anions which is imperative considering the toxic effects of uranium in ground water.

Abstract
Photoactivatable fluorophores have been widely used for tracking molecular and cellular dynamics with subdiffraction resolution. In this work, we have prepared a series of photoactivatable probes using the oxime moiety as a new class of photolabile caging group in which the photoactivation process is mediated by a highly efficient photodeoximation reaction. Incorporation of the oxime caging group into fluorophores results in loss of fluorescence. Upon light irradiation in the presence of air, the oxime-caged fluorophores are oxidized to their carbonyl derivatives, restoring strong fluorophore fluorescence. To demonstrate the utility of these oxime-caged fluorophores, we have created probes that target different organelles for live-cell confocal imaging. We also carried out photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) imaging under physiological conditions using low-power light activation in the absence of cytotoxic additives. Our studies show that oximes represent a new class of visible-light photocages that can be widely used for cellular imaging, sensing, and photo-controlled molecular release.

Abstract
Efficient separation of neptunium and plutonium from spent nuclear fuel is essential for advanced nuclear fuel cycles. At present, the development of effective actinide separation ligands has become a top priority. As common adsorbents for extracting uranium from seawater, amidoxime-based adsorbents may also be able to separate actinides from high-level liquid waste (HLLW). In this work, the complexation of Np(IV,V,VI) and Pu(IV) and alkyl chains (R = C13H26) modified with amidoximate (AO-) and carboxyl (Ac-) functional groups was systematically studied by quantum chemical calculations. For all the studied complexing species, the RAc- and RAO- ligands act as monodentate or bidentate ligands. Complexes with AO- groups show higher covalency of the metal-ligand bonding than the analogues with Ac- groups, in line with the binding energy analysis. Bonding analysis verifies that these amidoxime/carboxyl-based adsorbents possess higher coordination affinity toward Pu(IV) than toward Np(IV), and the Np(VI) complexes have stronger covalent interactions than Np(V). According to thermodynamic analysis, these adsorbents have the ability to separate Np(IV,V,VI) and Pu(IV), and also exhibit potential performance for partitioning Pu(IV) from Np(IV) under acidic conditions. This work can help to deeply understand the interaction between transuranium elements and amidoxime-based adsorbents, and provide a theoretical basis for the separation of actinides with amidoxime-based adsorbents.

Abstract
The oxidized ordered mesoporous carbons of cubic and hexagonal structure obtained by two templating methods (soft and hard) were applied for the first time as delivery systems for paracetamol—the most common antipyretic and analgesic drug in the world. The process of carbon oxidation was performed using an acidic ammonium persulfate solution at 60 °C for 6 h. The functionalization was found to reduce the specific surface area and pore volume of carbon materials, but it also led to an increasing number of acidic oxygen-containing functional groups. The most important element and the novelty of the presented study was the evaluation of adsorption and release ability of carbon carriers towards paracetamol. It was revealed that the sorption capacity and the drug release rate were mainly affected by the materials’ textural parameters and the total amount of surface functional groups, notably different in pristine and oxidized samples. The adsorption of paracetamol on the surface of ordered mesoporous carbons occurred according to different mechanisms: donor–acceptor complexes and hydrogen bond formation. The adsorption kinetics was assessed using pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order models. The regression results indicated that the adsorption kinetics was more accurately represented by the pseudo-second-order model. Paracetamol was adsorbed onto the carbon materials studied following the Langmuir type isotherm. The presence of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of ordered mesoporous carbons enhanced the amount of paracetamol adsorbed and its release rate. The optimal drug loading capacity and expected release pattern exhibited oxidized ordered mesoporous carbon with a hexagonal structure obtained by the hard template method.

Abstract
The porous chitosan/carboxylated carbon nanotubes composite aerogels (CS-CCN) with different CCN contents were prepared for the efficient removal of U(VI) from aqueous solution. The successful formation of CS-CCN aerogels with highly porous structure was confirmed by different characterizations (such as SEM, TEM, XRD, etc.). The sorption capacity of the aerogels depends on CCN content, which has significant impact on the porous structure and the sorption ability of the aerogels. The CS-CCN aerogels were found to be very effective for U(VI) sorption: the maximum mono-layer sorption capacity for CS-CCN2 aerogel reached 307.5 mg/g at pH 5.0 and 298 K. The chemisorption or surface complexation through sharing of O/N lone pair electrons on the active sites (carboxylic and amine groups) was responsible for U(VI) sorption, which is confirmed by the IR and XPS analysis. Meanwhile, the good-fitting of both sorption kinetics by pseudo-second-order model and sorption isotherms by Langmuir model also indicates chemisorption mechanism. The thermodynamic data suggest that U(VI) sorption on CS-CCN aerogel is endothermic and spontaneous. The unique characteristics such as high sorption capacity, fast kinetic, and easy recovery from solution make CS-CCN aerogels be very efficient sorbents for the treatment of radioactive wastewater.

Abstract
To move nuclear as a primary energy source, uranium resources must be secured beyond what terrestrial reserves can provide. Given the vast quantity of uranium naturally found in the ocean, adsorbent materials have been investigated to recover this vital fuel source. Amidoxime (AO) has been found to be the state-of-the-art functional group for this purpose, however, improvements must still be made to overcome the issues with selectively capturing uranium at such a low concentration found in the ocean. Herein, we report PAF-1 as a platform to study the effects of two amidoxime ligands. The synthesized adsorbents, PAF-1-CH2NHAO and PAF-1-NH(CH2)2AO, with varying chain lengths and grafting degrees, were investigated for their uranium uptakes and kinetic efficiency. PAF-1-NH(CH2)2AO was found to outperform PAF-1-CH2NHAO, with a maximum uptake capacity of 385 mg/g and able to reduce a uranium-spiked solution to ppb level within 10 min. Further studies with PAF-1-NH(CH2)2AO demonstrated effective elution for multiple adsorption cycles and showed promising results for uranium recovery in the diverse composition of a spiked seawater solution. The work presented here moves forward design principles for amidoxime-functionalized ligands and provides scope for strategies to enhance the capture of uranium as a sustainable nuclear fuel source.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, phosphate functionalized bacterial cellulose with micro-fibrous structure was prepared, characterized and applied for U(VI) adsorption. The successful grafting of phosphoric functional groups was proved by the FTIR spectra and EDS analysis (P~4.15 wt%), and the porous structure was confirmed by SEM and BET analyses. Furthermore, the effect of initial pH, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature were studied. The as-prepared adsorbent showed a high adsorption capacity at wide pH range (4.0–8.0) and its maximum adsorption capacity was calculated to be 50.65 mg/g. This endothermic adsorption process conformed to the pseudo second-order kinetic model and the Elovich kinetic models and the Langmuir isothermal models. According to the FTIR and XPS analysis, an adsorption mechanism was tentatively proposed, mainly due to the interaction between U(VI) and phosphoric groups.

Abstract
Design and fabrication of materials with abundant functional groups represent an important and promising direction in the remediation of aqueous contaminants. In recent years, carbon-based materials have drawn widespread concern on account of their low cost, large specific surface area, good chemical stability as well as controllable porosity. The U(VI) binding onto raw carbon-based materials is still confronted with the problem of limited adsorption capacity, which severely hinders the practical applications of materials. Herein, amino- and carboxyl-functionalized carbonaceous spheres (denoted as ACSs and CCSs) were fabricated by in-situ polymerization and simply annealing methods, respectively. The highest adsorption amounts of ACSs and CCSs towards U(VI) were calculated to be 73.83 and 401.61 mg·g-1 from Langmuir model at pH = 4.0 and 298 K, which were higher to that of raw carbonaceous material (19.31 mg·g-1). Interestingly, the Freundlich model could well simulate U(VI) sorption isotherms on ACSs at these temperatures (T = 298, 313 and 328 K), while U(VI) sorption isotherms on CCSs were able to significantly conform to the Langmuir model. According to FT-IR and XPS analysis, U(VI) was enriched on both materials on account of the ample functional groups on ACSs (e.g. CNOH/CNH2) and CCSs (e.g. OH/COOH). In addition, effect of ionic strength manifested that U(VI) elimination on ACSs and CCSs were greatly caused by the formation of outer-sphere and inner-sphere surface complexes, respectively. This work promises to provide two facile approaches for engineering diverse functionalized materials towards a highly rapid and efficient sequestering U(VI) from contaminated water.

Abstract
A low-cost industrial microorganism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was employed as a precursor to synthesize carbon/MnO2 composites (MMCs) via an oxidation-reduction reaction and one-step carbonization method for U(VI) adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption measurement indicated that the microorganism's carbonization could form surface porous structure and increase the specific surface area. Batch experiments showed that the maximum U(VI) adsorption capacity of MMCs reached 207 mg g-1 at [U(VI)]initial = 25 mg L-1 and pHinitial = 4.5. The obtained thermodynamic and kinetic parameters suggested that the process is endothermic, spontaneous, and chemisorption. FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that the surface hydroxyl groups of composites might be the reactive adsorption sites for U(VI). Additionally, 0.5 mol L-1 HNO3 solution could desorb ~ 95% uranium from U(VI)-loaded MMCs, and materials exhibited good regenerated availability. This study suggests that MMCs can be a potential adsorbent for U(VI) preconcentration and removal from radioactive wastewater.

Abstract
Nano-pore hydroxyapatite (HAP) was prepared using physical activation of raw and chemically modified [using Acid; HNO3 (HAPA) or Base; NaOH (HAPB)] bone char (BC) by heating at 900°C for 1 hr to obtain HAP9, HAPA9 and HAPB9, respectively. Investigation the effects of thermal and chemical treatment of prepared nano-hydroxyapatite on elemental analysis, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy, surface area and consequently, the sorption behavior of Eu (III) ions onto the prepared nano-pore hydroxyapatite. Batch adsorption technique was used and the obtained results revealed that the optimum pH = 5.0. The % removal of europium (III) using HAPA9 and HAPB9 reach to 100% within 15 min, while HAP9 after 180 min and the pseudo-second-order was found to be fit to the experimental data. According to Langmuir model, the maximum sorption capacities (qm) were 123.8, 384.9 and 74.2 mg g-1 for HAP9, HAPA9 and HAPB9, respectively. The reaction is spontaneous according to ΔG° value. HCl (0.5 M) was the most efficient desorbing agent for recovery of Eu(III) and regeneration of adsorbents. Finally, nano-pore hydroxyapatite (HAP) was low cost and very effective adsorbent for sorption or recovery of Eu(III) from aqueous solutions and remediation of environmental pollution.

Abstract
A clean and simple method has been developed for preparation of interpenetrating polymer networks using polyacrylic acid (PAA) and chitosan (CS) for extraction of uranium from polluted water. The peak of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) occurred at 928 cm-1 indicating combination of uranium and PAA/CS. The energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies illustrated the formation of a crosslinking structure and excellent binding ability of uranium on PAA/CS. The maximum adsorption capacity was 289.6 mg g-1 calculated using the equation of the Langmuir model. The adsorption capacity reached a plateau at pH 4 and the sorption process fits the pseudo-second-order model well. The PAA/CS composite has stability of reuse, with the adsorbent capacity decreasing slowly with increasing usage frequency. The experimental results confirm that the PAA/CS hydrogel could be a novel alternative for highly efficient removal of uranium from wastewater.

Abstract
Selective extraction of uranium from water has attracted worldwide attention because the largest source of uranium is seawater with various interference ions (Na+ , K+ , Mg2+ , Ca2+ , etc.). However, traditional adsorbents encapsulate most of their functional sites in their dense structure, leading to problems with low selectivity and adsorption capacities. In this work, the tailor-made binding sites are first decorated into porous skeletons, and a series of molecularly imprinted porous aromatic frameworks are prepared for uranium extraction. Because the porous architecture provides numerous accessible sites, the resultant material has a fourfold increased ion capacity compared with traditional molecularly imprinted polymers and presents the highest selectivity among all reported uranium adsorbents. Moreover, the porous framework can be dispersed into commercial polymers to form composite components for the practical extraction of uranium ions from simulated seawater.

Abstract
The β-cyclodextrin-graft-(maleic anhydride-co-acrylonitrule) copolymer (β-CD-g-(MAH-co-AN)) synthesized through radical polymerization reactions of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with maleic anhydride (MAH) and acrylonitrule (AN) in the special monomer proportion, chemically modify with amidoxime groups to obtained the new adsorbent, which was terms as amidoxime-functionalized β-cyclodextrin-graft-(maleic anhydride-co-acrylonitrule) copolymer (β-CD-g-(MAH-co-AO)). Based on the characteristic results of Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and thermalgravity analysis (TGA) techniques, the grafted nitrile groups were successfully converted to amidoxime groups by reaction with hydroxylamine. In this report, the influence of different factors such as pH value and ionic strength, solid-liquid ratio, contact time, initial U(VI) concentration, and temperature on adsorption was investigated by a batch adsorption experiment. The adsorption process fitting results show that the adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm model and the maximum adsorption capacity was 0.747 g/g at pH 4.0. In addition, the regeneration performance was investigated by varying the concentration of eluent, temperature, and contact time. Under the desorption condition of 0.10 M HNO₃, the adsorbents can be reused 12 times in the case that the adsorption capacity was not significantly reduced. The functionalized copolymer exhibits high selectivity under circumstance of other co-existing ions is present in the solution.

Abstract
Uranium(VI) exhibits little adsorption onto sediment minerals in acidic, alkaline or high ionic-strength aqueous media that often occur in U mining or contaminated sites, which makes U(VI) very mobile and difficult to sequester. In this work, magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MMSNs) were functionalized with several organic ligands. The functionalized MMSNs were highly effective and had large binding capacity for U sequestration from high salt water (HSW) simulant (54 mg U/g sorbent). The functionalized MMSNs, after U exposure in HSW simulant, pH 3.5 and 9.6 artificial groundwater (AGW), were characterized by a host of spectroscopic methods. Among the key novel findings in this work was that in the HSW simulant or high pH AGW, the dominant U species bound to the functionalized MMSNs were uranyl or uranyl hydroxide, rather than uranyl carbonates as expected. The surface functional groups appear to be out-competing the carbonate ligands associated with the aqueous U species. The uranyl-like species were bound with N ligand as η2 bound motifs or phosphonate ligand as a monodentate, as well as on tetrahedral Si sites as an edge-sharing bidentate. The N and phosphonate ligand-functionalized MMSNs hold promise as effective sorbents for sequestering U from acidic, alkaline or high ionic-strength contaminated aqueous media.

Abstract
To develop a high-performance solid-phase extractant for the separation of uranyl f, pomelo peel, a kind of waste biomass, has been employed as carbon source to prepare carbonaceous matrix through low-temperature hydrothermal carbonization (200 °C, 24 h). After being oxidized by Hummers method, the prepared hydrothermal carbon matrix was functionalized with carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups (1.75 mmol g-1). The relevant characterizations and batch studies had demonstrated that the obtained carbon material possessed excellent affinity toward uranyl (436.4 mg g-1) and the sorption process was a spontaneous, endothermic and rapid chemisorption. The selective sorption of U(VI) from the simulated nuclear effluent demonstrated that the sorbent displayed a desirable selectivity (56.14% at pH = 4.5) for the U(VI) ions over the other 11 competitive cations from the simulated industrial nuclear effluent. The proposed synthetic strategy in the present work had turned out to be effective and practical, which provides a novel approach to prepare functional materials for the recovery and separation of uranyl or other heavy metals from aqueous environment.

Abstract
Enrichment of uranyl from seawater is crucial for the sustainable development of nuclear energy, but current uranium extraction technology suffers from multiple drawbacks of low sorption efficiency, slow uptake kinetics, or poor extraction selectivity. Herein, we prepared the first example of amidoxime appended metal-organic framework UiO-66-AO by a postsynthetic modification method for rapid and efficient extraction of uranium from seawater. UiO-66-AO can remove 94.8% of uranyl ion from Bohai seawater within 120 min and 99% of uranyl ion from Bohai seawater containing extra 500 ppb uranium within 10 min. The uranyl sorption capacity in a real seawater sample was determined to be 2.68 mg/g. In addition, the recyclability of the UiO-66-AO framework was demonstrated for at least three adsorption/desorption cycles. The origin for the superior sorption capability was further probed by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis on the uranium-sorbed sample, suggesting multiple amidoxime ligands are able to chelate uranyl(VI) ions, forming a hexagonal bipyramid coordination geometry.

Abstract
Uranium is one of the most toxic elements present in the environment and a number of methods have been developed for its extraction. Herein we have demonstrated a new method using magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) that can be used for uranium extraction from water and sea water matrix. Fe3O4 and humic acid (HA) coated Fe3O4 NPs with different amount of HA coating were synthesized and uranium sorption from water and sea water matrix was demonstrated. It was observed that sorption increases with increase in amount of HA coating. NPs settlement in presence of magnetic field was monitored where only bare Fe3O4 and Fe3O4/HA 1 NPs settles while no settlement was observed for Fe3O4/HA 2 and Fe3O4/HA 3 NPs. Considering both sorption and particle separation from the matrix Fe3O4/HA 1 NPs are the best among synthesized ones with maximum sorption capacity of 10.5mg of U/g of NPs. The results presented here reveal the exceptional potential of magnetic NPs and functionalized magnetic NPs for environmental remediation of uranium and to extract uranium from sea water on which to the best of our knowledge no report is available till now.

Abstract
A new magnetic functionalized derivative of chitosan is synthesized and characterized for the sorption of metal ions (environmental applications and metal valorization). The chemical modification of the glycine derivative of chitosan consists of: activation of the magnetic support with epichlorohydrin, followed by reaction with either glycine to produce the reference material (i.e., Gly sorbent) or glycine ester hydrochloride, followed by hydrazinolysis to synthesize the hydrazide functionalized sorbent (i.e., HGly sorbent). The materials are characterized by titration, elemental analysis, FTIR analysis (Fourrier-transform infrared spectrometry), TGA analysis (thermogravimetric analysis) and with SEM-EDX (scanning electron microscopy coupled to energy dispersive X-ray analysis). The sorption performances for U(VI), Cu(II), and Zn(II) are tested in batch systems. The sorption performances are compared for Gly and HGly taking into account the effect of pH, the uptake kinetics (fitted by the pseudo-second order rate equation), and the sorption isotherms (described by the Langmuir and the Sips equations). The sorption capacities of the modified sorbent reach up to 1.14 mmol U g-1, 1.69 mmol Cu g-1, and 0.85 mmol Zn g-1. In multi-metal solutions of equimolar concentration, the chemical modification changes the preferences for given metal ions. Metal ions are desorbed using 0.2 M HCl solutions and the sorbents are re-used for five cycles of sorption/desorption without significant loss in performances.

Abstract
We demonstrate the successful functionalization of a porous aromatic framework for uranium extraction from water as exemplified by grafting PAF-1 with the uranyl chelating amidoxime group. The resultant amidoxime-functionalized PAF-1 (PAF-1-CH2AO) exhibits a high uranium uptake capacity of over 300 mg g-1 and effectively reduces the uranyl concentration from 4.1 ppm to less than 1.0 ppb in aqueous solutions within 90 min, well below the acceptable limit of 30 ppb set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The local coordination environment of uranium in PAF-1-CH2AO is revealed by X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopic studies, which suggest the cooperative binding between UO22+ and adjacent amidoxime species.
