To better assess the environmental behavior and effect of uranium on living organisms more accurately, herein, Na-bentonite was used as an adsorbent for the immobilization of uranium from radionuclide polluted wastewater. The experimental results demonstrated that sorption dynamics of U(VI) on the Na-bentonite could obtain equilibrium in a time period of 10h. The sorption performance of U(VI) on the surface of Na-bentonite material was strongly dependent on pH values of solution. The sorption of U(VI) was influenced by ionic strength at pH<7.5, whereas was independent of ionic strength at pH>7.5. The presence of fulvic acid (FA) or humic acid (HA) promoted the sorption behavior of U(VI) onto Na-bentonite at low pH values while suppressed the sorption performance at high pH values. The thermodynamic coefficients (i.e., ΔS0, ΔG0 and ΔH0) calculated from the temperature-dependent sorption isotherms illustrated that sorption process of U(VI) on the Na-bentonite was spontaneous and endothermic. At low pH values, the sorption performance of U(VI) was dominated by outer-sphere surface complexation and ion exchange with Na+/H+ on Na-bentonite surfaces, whereas inner-sphere surface complexation and co-precipitation were the main sorption mechanism at high pH values. Considering its high physicochemical stability and high removal performance property, the prepared Na-bentonite can be used as a cost-effective and potential adsorbent for the immobilization and recovery of U(VI) from large volumes of aqueous solutions.
Magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotube/iron oxide composite (Fe3O4/MWCNT) was synthesized as an adsorbent for the preconcentration of U(VI) from aqueous solutions. The surface properties of Fe3O4/MWCNT were characterized via adopting FTIR, SEM and potentiometric acid–base titration. The sorption behaviors of U(VI) on the surface of Fe3O4/MWCNT were investigated under environmental conditions by using batch technique, such as pH, ionic strength and contact time. The pH-dependent U(VI) sorption behavior on Fe3O4/MWCNT illustrated that sorption mechanism of U(VI) was achieved by outer-sphere surface complexation at low pH values, while the sorption of U(VI) was achieved by inner-sphere surface complexation and simultaneous precipitation at high pH values. Besides, the pH-dependent sorption also demonstrated an optimal and feasible pH value of 7.0 by adopting Fe3O4/MWCNT in the preconcentration of U(VI) from aqueous solutions. The sorption kinetic experimental data could be well simulated by using the pseudo-second-order pattern. The Langmuir and Freundlich patterns were employed to simulate sorption isotherms of U(VI) at three different temperatures, the experimental results demonstrated that sorption process was favorable at higher environmental temperature. The maximum sorption capacity of U(VI) on Fe3O4/MWCNT was higher than that of major materials reported. Related experimental data further indicated that Fe3O4/MWCNT had satisfactory treatment performance for the simulated wastewater. The Fe3O4/MWCNT particles having strong magnetism could be favorably and easily separated from aqueous solution under an external magnetic field. The correlative experimental results further demonstrated that the Fe3O4/MWCNT composite could be a promising adsorbent for the preconcentration of radionuclides from large volumes of aqueous solution.
