摘要

Proper handling of radioactive strontium in waste is essential for minimizing its environmental and health risks. This study investigates the performance of Ti3C2Tx, a typical MXene, in removing Sr2+ from wastewater. The experimental results indicate that the adsorption confirms to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. The ∆Hθ of adsorption is − 129.56 kJ mol−1. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were employed to examine the molecular-level interaction mechanism between Sr and Ti3C2Tx, which primarily involves chemical interactions between Sr2+ and the terminal groups of Ti3C2Tx. This study highlights the potential of MXene in the removal of radioactive contaminants.
