In this study, a high-yield selective adsorbent called APO-10 was successfully synthesized by increasing the mass of reactants. APO-10 showed enhanced adsorption performance for U(VI) under various environmental conditions and exhibited excellent stability and applicability. The study provides a feasible modification method for efficient treatment of radioactive contamination.
High-yield selective adsorbents and suitable modification methods are both significant for the efficient treatment of U-contaminated wastewater. In this work, a rich-mesoporous aluminum phosphate adsorbent (APO-10) was synthesized by simply increasing the mass of reactants under a fixed solvent volume. After increasing the mass of reactants ten times, APO-10 has the added defect level, the increased specific surface area, and mesoporous structure, and the increased number and enhanced adsorption ability of adsorption active sites (phosphorus oxygen groups) on the surface, resulting in an enhanced adsorption performance of U(VI) in various environmental conditions. Its ultrahigh adsorption capacity calculated by the Langmuir model can reach 826.44 mg g(-1) at pH = 5.5 and T = 298 K. Its crystal structure did not change after adsorption and remained at 584.40 mg g(-1) after 6 cycles. Additionally, APO-10 shows an excellent uranium-selectivity over 68% from a mixed aqueous solution and has excellent applicability in the acidic and alkaline environment based on dynamic adsorption and desorption column experiments. This study not only provides a high-yield efficient selective adsorbent (APO-10) with excellent anti-radiation structure stability for the treatment of radioactive contamination but also provides a feasible modification method by simply increasing the mass of reactants.
