Fabrication of granular three-dimensional graphene oxide/UiO-66 adsorbent for high uranium adsorption: Density functional theory and fixed bed column studies. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 477:135237. [PMID: 39094305 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 07/06/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
This study presents a thorough investigation of the novel application of graphene oxide (GO) modified with melamine formaldehyde to fabricate granular three-dimensional GO (3D-GO), followed by the introduction of UiO-66 doping (3D-GO/U) for high uranium (U) adsorption. The U(VI) adsorption isotherms revealed that 3D-GO/U-10 with 10 % UiO-66 incorporation exhibited an impressive adsorption capacity of 375.5 mg g-1 and remained high U(VI) sorption performance in wide pH range. The introduction of UiO-66 to 3D-GO (3D-GO/U-10) led to the deagglomeration of the UiO-66 particles. The in situ surface-enhanced-Raman-spectroscopy-analysis and density-functional-theory simulations showed the symmetric metal center site Zr-O2 on UiO-66 was discovered to exhibit the highest adsorption energy (-3.21 eV) for U(VI) species due to the electrons transfer from the oxygen atom to U(VI) drives the covalent bonding between the symmetric metal center sites Zr-O2 and U(VI) on 3D-GO/U-10. The 3D-GO/U-10 was regenerated using a 0.1 M Na2CO3/0.01 M H2O2 solution and achieved up to 89.7 % U(VI) removal in the 5th cycle. The continuous flow column experiments results revealed 3D-GO/U-10 can regenerate and maintain a U(VI) removal capacity of ∼76 % for up to 4 cycles column experiments. Therefore, 3D-GO/U-10 exhibits great potential for removing U(VI) from water bodies.

Abstract
Nuclear power plays a pivotal role in the global energy supply. The adsorption-based extraction of uranium from seawater is crucial for the rapid advancement of nuclear power. The phosphorus nitride imide (PN) nanotubes were synthesized in this study using a solvothermal method, resulting in chemically stable cross-linked tubular hollow structures that draw inspiration from the intricate snowflake fractal pattern. Detailed characterization showed that these nanotubes possess a uniformly distributed five-coordinated nanopocket, which exhibited great selectivity and efficiency in binding uranium. PN nanotubes captured 97.34% uranium from the low U-spiked natural seawater (∼355 μg L-1) and showed a high adsorption capacity (435.58 mg g-1), along with a distribution coefficient, KdU > 8.71 × 107 mL g-1. In addition, PN nanotubes showed a high adsorption capacity of 7.01 mg g-1 in natural seawater. The facile and scalable production of PN nanotubes presented in this study holds implications for advancing their large-scale implementation in the selective extraction of uranium from seawater.

Abstract
In this study, an amorphous silica reinforced, phosphoric-crosslinked chitosan foam (P-CTS@SixOy) was prepared. The introduction of amorphous silica not only increased the affinity of the adsorbent for uranium, but also improved the stability of the material. The number of active sites of P-CTS@SixOy was increased by the introduction of phosphate groups. The material exhibited excellent uranium adsorption performance with the removal capacity and efficiency of 850.5 mg g-1 and 98.1 %, respectively. After regenerations, the morphology of P-CTS@SixOy still maintained, and the uranium adsorption efficiency remained above 90 %, manifesting the excellent cycle performance of P-CTS@SixOy. In the dynamic adsorption experiment, P-CTS@SixOy successfully concentrated the volume of uranium-containing solution, and exhibited excellent uranium adsorption performance. The analysis of kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics manifested that the uranium adsorption behavior of P-CTS@SixOy was a spontaneous, endothermic, monolayer chemical adsorption process. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscope, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer were used to characterized the P-CTS@SixOy before and after adsorption, which demonstrated that the main interaction mechanism between uranium and P-CTS@SixOy was the complexation. These studies indicated the huge application prospect of P-CTS@SixOy in the treatment of large-scale uranium-containing wastewater.

Abstract
The ocean reserves nearly four billion tons of uranium, providing an inexhaustible supply of nuclear energy if the limits of ultralow U(VI) concentration (3.3 µg·L-1) are addressed. Membrane technology is promising to make this happen by simultaneous U(VI) concentration and extraction. Herein, we report a pioneering adsorption-pervaporation membrane for efficient enrichment and capture of U(VI) along with clean water production. A bifunctional poly(dopamine-ethylenediamine) and graphene oxide 2D scaffold membrane was developed and further crosslinked by glutaraldehyde, capable of recovering over 70% U(VI) and water from simulated seawater brine, which validates the feasibility of one-step water recovery, brine concentration, and uranium extraction from seawater brine. Moreover, compared with other membranes and adsorbents, this membrane exhibits fast pervaporation desalination (flux: 153.3 kg·m-2·h-1, rejection: >99.99%) and excellent uranium capture properties of 228.6 mg·m-2 benefiting from plentiful functional groups provided by embedded poly(dopamine-ethylenediamine). This study aims to provide a strategy for recovering critical elements from the ocean.

Promising adsorbents with record-high capacities have been developed by diverse innovative synthetic strategies, and scale-up marine field tests have been put forward by several countries. However, significant challenges remain in terms of the adsorbents' properties in complex marine environments, deployment methods, and the economic viability of current UES systems. This review presents an up-to-date overview of the latest advancements in the UES field, highlighting new insights into the mechanistic basis of UES and the methodologies towards the function-oriented development of uranium adsorbents with high adsorption capacity, selectivity, biofouling resistance, and durability. A distinctive emphasis is placed on emerging electrochemical and photochemical strategies that have been employed to develop efficient UES systems. The most recent achievements in marine tests by the major countries are summarized. Challenges and perspectives related to the fundamental, technical, and engineering aspects of UES are discussed. This review is envisaged to inspire innovative ideas and bring technical solutions towards the development of technically and economically viable UES systems.

Abstract
As the primary functional groups of amidoxime sorbents for uranium recovery from seawater, di(amidoxime) ligands can be cyclized in situ into different ligands in the presence of Cu(II)/Ni(II) at different pH values. Here we first found that a linear ligand glutardiamidoxime can be catalyzed into a cyclic ligand glutarimidedioxime by Ni(II) in acidic solution.

Abstract
Continuous filtering adsorption has drawn growing interest in the exploration of uranium resources in seawater and reduction in the environmental risks of uraniferous wastewater from nuclear industries. For most filtering adsorbents, repeated filtration, high membrane thickness, and high pressure are normally essential to achieve both a high rejection ratio and high filtration flux. Herein cellulose fibrils were preferentially exfoliated from the lignin-poor layer of secondary cell walls of balsa wood during an in situ amidoximation process. By maintaining honeycomb-like cellular microstructures and cellulose aerogel stuffing in their cell tracheids, the resultant nanowoods showed superior mechanical properties (e.g., compressive strength ∼1.3 MPa in transverse direction) with large surface areas (∼80 m2 g-1). When their cell tracheids were aligned perpendicular to the flow and the edges sealed with a thermoset polymer, they could serve as efficient and high-pressure filtration membranes to capture aquatic uranium ions. In analogy to a typical cascading filtration system, the filtrate passed successively the layered-organized cell tracheids through abundant micropores on their cell walls, enabling a high rejection ratio of >99% and flux of ∼920 L m-2 h-1 under pressure up to 6 bar (membrane thickness of 2 mm). Thus, this study not only provides an in situ approach to producing robust woods with functional nanocellulose encapsulated into their cell tracheids but also offers a sustainable route for high-efficiency extraction of aqueous uranium.

Abstract
An amidoxime and carboxylate containing polymer adsorbent derived from acrylic fiber has shown extremely high efficiencies for extracting critical materials and precious metals from seawater. Among 50 extractable elements, the lanthanides, cobalt, and palladium were ranked near the top with KD values in the order of 107, about an order of magnitude higher than that of uranium. The KD value of the lanthanides increased linearly with the atomic number indicating charge density is a factor controlling trivalent lanthanide extractability in seawater. The data given in this report provides crucial information regarding the strategies of ocean mining of critical materials and precious metals.

Abstract
Uranium extraction from natural seawater and wastewater are quintessential requirements to supply uninterrupted carbon-free nuclear energy and to prevent potential radiochemical and toxicological effects, respectively. Owing to the complexity and low-concentration uranium of these water samples, the design and synthesis of sorbent materials for uranium extraction with meaningful efficiencies remains a grand challenge. Herein, we reported a novel three-dimensional bifunctional network of hyperbranched poly(amidoxime-ethyleneimine) (PAO-h-PEI) using PEI as the skeleton material via cyanoethylation, crosslinking and then amidoximation. As a result of the synergistic supramolecular strategy, the PAO-h-PEI membrane achieved a remarkable adsorption capacity of 985.7 mg/g for aqueous uranium solution, which was 2.5 folds that of the monofunctional h-PEI membrane (387.6 mg/g). The PAO-h-PEI membrane also exhibited good selectivity towards uranium in the presence of various metal ions, high-content salt, and natural organic matter as well as common anions. According to the XPS and FTIR results, the utilization of amines as the second ligand enhanced uranyl binding by providing additional coordination sites or by interacting with oxime to force N-OH dissociation. The good reusability (adsorption rate of 93% after six adsorption-desorption cycles) and satisfactory adsorption performance in extracting low-concentration uranium in real seawater demonstrate its practicability.

Abstract
The recovery of uranium from seawater is of great concern because of the growing demand for nuclear energy. Though amidoxime-functionalized adsorbents as the most promising adsorbents have been widely used for this purpose, their low selectivity and vulnerability to biofouling have limited their application in real marine environments. Herein, a new bifunctional phosphorylcholine-modified adsorbent (PVC-PC) is disclosed. The PVC-PC fiber is found to be suitable for use in the pH range of seawater and metals that commonly coexist with uranium, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and lanthanide metals, have no obvious effect on its uranium adsorption capacity. PVC-PC shows better selectivity and adsorption capacity than the commonly used amidoxime-functionalized adsorbent. Furthermore, PVC-PC fiber exhibits excellent antibacterial properties which could reduce the effects of biofouling caused by marine microorganisms. Because of its good selectivity and antibacterial property, phosphorylcholine-based material shows great potential as a new generation adsorbent for uranium recovery from seawater.

Abstract
In this paper, polypropylene (PP) nanofibers were prepared using the melt forcespinning technology by a handmade device. Then, the surface of PP nanofibers was grafted through the high energy electron beams (EB) pre-irradiation method by acrylonitrile and methacrylic acid monomers with grafting percentage of 145.55%. The 92% of grafted cyano functional groups on nanofibers were converted to amidoxime groups, then modified by an alkaline solution. Characterization and surface morphology of nanofibers were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The produced adsorbent was used to adsorb U(VI) ions from simulated seawater. The maximum adsorption was 83.24 mg/g in the optimal time of 60 min and optimal pH of 4. The optimum desorption efficiency was 80% in HCl 0.5 M. The kinetic data in optimum conditions showed that the adsorption followed an S-shaped kinetic model. The Adsorption equilibrium studies presented S-shape isotherm model that confirmed the adsorption occurs both on the adsorbent surface and in its pores The thermodynamic studies indicated spontaneous adsorption of uranyl ions and the higher efficiency adsorption at higher temperatures. The selectivity of adsorbent for metal ions followed the order V(V)>U(VI)>CO(II)>Ni(II)>Fe(II). These results shows that the prepared and modified nanofibers in this work can be considered as an effective and promising adsorbents for removal of uranium ions from seawater with high efficiency.

Abstract
This review provides a brief background on the extraction of uranium from seawater as well as recent work by the United States Department of Energy on this project. The world's oceans contain uranium at 3 parts per billion, and despite this low concentration, there has been historical interest in harvesting it, mainly in Japan in the 1980s and the United States in this decade. Improvements in materials, chemistry, and deployment methods have all been made, with the ultimate goal of lower cost. This has been partially realized, dropping from approximately $2000 per kg U3O8 extracted in 1984 to $500 per kg today, although this is not yet competitive with terrestrial uranium. This technology may become cost-competitive if the cost of land-based uranium rises, especially if seawater extraction technology is improved further. The coordination chemistry aspects of the project are described in more detail, exploring the functional groups that are present on typical polymer sorbents as well as small-molecule analogues of these ligands. Selectivity for uranium over other metals, particularly vanadium, remains problematic, and techniques to both quantify binding strength and selectivity in order to overcome this issue are essential for future cost improvements.

Abstract
A new strategy combining iron-electrocoagulation and organic ligands (OGLs) cooperative chelation was proposed to screen and precipitate low concentrations (0-18.52 μmol/L) of uranium contaminant in aqueous solution. We hypothesized that OGLs with amino, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups hydrophobically/hydrophilically would realize precuring of uranyl ion at pH < 3.0, and the following iron-electrocoagulation would achieve faster and more efficient uranium precipitation. Experimentally, the strategy demonstrated highly efficient uranium(VI) precipitation efficiency, especially with hydrophilic macromolecular OGLs. The uranium removal efficiency at optimized experimental condition reached 99.65%. The decrease of zeta potential and the lattice enwrapping between U-OGLs chelates and flocculation precursor were ascribed to the enhanced uranium precipitation activity. Uranium was precipitated as oxides of U(VI) or higher valences that were easily captured in aggregated micelles under low operation current potential. The actual uranium tailing wastewater was treated, and a satisfied uranium removal efficiency of 99.02% was discovered. After elution of the precipitated flocs, a concentrated uranium solution (up to 106.52 μmol/L) with very few other metallic impurities was obtained. Therefore, the proposed strategy could remove uranium and concentrate it concurrently. This work could provide new insights into the purification and recovery of uranium from aqueous solutions in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly process.

Abstract
The molecule of glutaroimidedioxime, a cyclic imidedioxime moiety that can form during the synthesis of the poly(amidoxime)sorbent and is reputedly responsible for the extraction of uranium from seawater. Complexation of manganese (II) with glutarimidedioxime in aqueous solutions was investigated with potentiometry, calorimetry, ESI-mass spectrometry, electrochemical measurements and quantum chemical calculations. Results show that complexation reactions of manganese with glutarimidedioxime are both enthalpy and entropy driven processes, implying that the sorption of manganese on the glutarimidedioxime-functionalized sorbent would be enhanced at higher temperatures. Complex formation of manganese with glutarimidedioxime can assist redox of Mn(II/III). There are about ~15% of equilibrium manganese complex with the ligand in seawater pH(8.3), indicating that manganese could compete to some degree with uranium for sorption sites.

Abstract
Amidoxime-based polymer adsorbents have attracted interest within the last decade due to their high adsorption capacities for uranium and other rare earth metals from seawater. The ocean contains an approximated 4-5 billion tons of uranium and even though amidoxime-based adsorbents have demonstrated the highest uranium adsorption capacities to date, they are still economically impractical because of their limited recyclability. Typically, the adsorbed metals are eluted with a dilute acid solution that not only damages the amidoxime groups (metal adsorption sites), but is also not strong enough to remove the strongly bound vanadium, which decreases the adsorption capacity with each cycle. We resolved this challenge by incorporating Le Chatelier's principle to recycle adsorbents indefinitely. We used a solution with a high concentration of amidoxime-like chelating agents, such as hydroxylamine, to desorb nearly a 100% of adsorbed metals, including vanadium, without damaging the metal adsorption sites and preserving the high adsorption capacity. The method takes advantage of knowing the binding mode between the amidoxime ligand and the metal and mimics it with chelating agents that then in a Le Chatelier's manner removes metals by shifting to a new chemical equilibrium. For this reason the method is applicable to any ligand-metal adsorbent and it will make an impact on other extraction technologies.
