Abstract
With open-chain polyether as the bridge chain, a new fungal-modified material with diamidoxime groups was prepared by a series of uncomplex synthesis reaction. The orthogonal experiment obtained its optimized adsorption conditions as follows: the initial pH value of 6.5, the initial uranyl concentration of 40 mg L-1, the contact time of 130 min, and the a solid-liquid ratio of 25 mg L-1. The maximum adsorption capacity of target material was 446.20 mg g-1, and it was much greater than that of the similar monoamidoxime material (295.48 mg g-1). The linear Langmuir (R2 = 0.9856) isotherm models and the linear pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.9931) fit the experimental data of uranium (VI) adsorption better, indicating the adsorption mechanism should mainly be the monolayer adsorption and chemical process. In addition, the relevant experiments exhibited the prepared material had the good reusability, which reached 84.25% of the maximum capacity after five cycles, and the excellent anti-interference performance. The above features suggest the modified fungus material will have the good application prospect in the future.

Abstract
The development of new materials based on biopolymers (as renewable resources) is substantial for environmental challenges in the heavy metal and radionuclide ions removal contaminations. Functionalization of chitosan with sulfonic groups was achieved for improving the uranium sorption, not only from slightly acidic leachate, but also for the underground water. The prepared hydrogel based on chitosan was characterized by series of analysis tools for structure elucidation as FTIR spectroscopy, textural properties using nitrogen adsorption method, pHPZC (by pH-drift method), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), SEM, and SEM-EDX analyses. The sorption was performed toward uranium (VI) ions for adjustment of sorption performances. The optimum sorption was performed at pH 4 (prior to the precipitation pH). The total sorption was achieved within 25 min (relatively fast kinetics) and was fitted by pseudo-first order rate equation (PFORE) and resistance to intraparticle diffusion equation (RIDE). The maximum sorption capacity was around 1.5 mmol U g-1. The sorption isotherms were fitted by Langmuir and Sips equations. Desorption was achieved using 0.3 M HCl solution and the complete desorption was performed in around 15 min of contact. The sorption desorption cycles are relatively stable during 5 cycles with limit decreasing in sorption and desorption properties (around 3 ± 0.2% and 99.8 ± 0.1%, respectively). The sorbent was used for removal of U from acid leachate solution in mining area. The sorbent showed a highly performance for U(VI) removal, which was considered as a tool material for radionuclides removing from aquatic medium.

Abstract
It is of great significance to develop convenient methods and low-cost materials to remove uranium from wastewater. Ankistrodesmus sp., an easy growing green alga, was employed for highly efficient removal of uranium from aqueous solution. The biosorption results under different experimental condition indicate that the alga possess outstanding uranium adsorption ability (qmax = 601.2 mg g-1). Moreover, Ankistrodesmus sp. could be effectively regenerated with hydrochloric acid solution (0.1 M) and used again for uranium adsorption. Even in simulated mine water with various coexisting ions, Ankistrodesmus sp. also exhibits high removal efficiency (95.6%) towards uranium. Furthermore, the adsorption behavior of uranium by alga could be described in the Freundlich isotherms model and the adsorption process was consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The characteristic of Fourier transform infrared spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveal that -NH2, -COOH, -CONH2 and C-O groups have participated in biosorption process. Therefore, complexation, electrostatic adsorption and ions exchange are the dominated action of uranium biosorption in the algae. All findings in this work suggest that Ankistrodesmus sp. can be a promising candidate for the effective and practical application in field of disposed uranium contamination.

Abstract
The development of new materials is needed to address the environmental challenges of wastewater treatment. The phosphorylation of guar gum combined with its association to chitosan allows preparing an efficient sorbent for the removal of U(VI) from slightly acidic solutions. The incorporation of magnetite nanoparticles enhances solid/liquid. Functional groups are characterized by FTIR spectroscopy while textural properties are qualified by N2 adsorption. The optimum pH is close to 4 (deprotonation of amine and phosphonate groups). Uptake kinetics are fast (60 min of contact), fitted by a pseudo-first order rate equation. Maximum sorption capacities are close to 1.28 and 1.16 mmol U g-1 (non-magnetic and magnetic, respectively), while the sorption isotherms are fitted by Langmuir equation. Uranyl desorption (using 0.2 M HCl solutions) is achieved within 20-30 min; the sorbents can be recycled for at least five cycles (5-6% loss in sorption performance, complete desorption). In multi-component solutions, the sorbents show marked preference for U(VI) and Nd(III) over alkali-earth metals and Si(IV). The zone of exclusion method shows that magnetic sorbent has antibacterial effects against both Gram+ and Gram- bacteria, contrary to non-magnetic material (only Gram+ bacteria). The magnetic composite is highly promising as antimicrobial support and for recovery of valuable metals.

Abstract
The necessity to recover uranium from dilute solutions (for environmental/safety and resource management) is driving research towards developing new sorbents. This study focuses on the enhancement of U(VI) sorption properties of composite algal/Polyethylenimine beads through the quaternization of the support (by reaction with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride). The sorbent is fully characterized by FTIR, XPS for confirming the contribution of protonated amine and quaternary ammonium groups on U(VI) binding (with possible contribution of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, depending on the pH). The sorption properties are investigated in batch with reference to pH effect (optimum value: pH 4), uptake kinetics (equilibrium: 40 min) and sorption isotherms (maximum sorption capacity: 0.86 mmol U g-1). Metal desorption (with 0.5 M NaCl/0.5 M HCl) is highly efficient and the sorbent can be reused for five cycles with limited decrease in performance. The sorbent is successfully applied to the selective recovery of U(VI) from acidic leachate of uranium ore, after pre-treatment (cementation of copper, precipitation of rare earth elements with oxalate, and precipitation of iron). A pure yellow cake is obtained after precipitation of the eluate.
