Study of uranium adsorption on Mn/Co-MOF@SiO2-AO composites
摘要
Nuclear energy offers significant potential to address energy shortages and carbon neutrality goals, yet uranium-containing wastewater management remains a critical challenge. This study developed Mn/Co-MOF@SiO2-AO materials using cationic surfactant-assisted mixed micelles for selective uranium removal. Structural characterization (XRD, FT-IR, TEM and BET) confirmed successful synthesis. Systematic investigations revealed the material's adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics, achieving a maximum U(VI) capacity of 636.96 mg/g (298 K) with strong ionic strength tolerance and selectivity. XPS analysis elucidated the adsorption mechanism.
