Jiali Gan et al.

Summary: A chitosan-based porous composite adsorbent was prepared with phosphoric acid, amidoxime, and quaternary ammonium groups to enhance the adsorption rate and competitive uranium-vanadium adsorption.

Polyethyleneimine incorporated chitosan/a-MnO2 nanorod honeycomb-like composite foams with remarkable elasticity and ultralight property for the effective removal of U(VI) from aqueous solution

Xianqian Ao et al.

Summary: The development of new adsorbents is crucial for addressing the environmental challenges of radioactive wastewater treatment. In this study, a novel polyethyleneimine incorporated chitosan/alpha-MnO2 nanorod honeycomb-like composite foam (PCM) with remarkable elasticity and ultralight property was synthesized for U(VI) removal. PCM-40 showed the highest sorption capacity for U(VI) due to its well-developed macroporous structure and high content of amine/imine groups. The kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model, indicating chemisorption as the rate-controlling step. The isotherms were well described by the Langmuir model, suggesting mono-layer homogeneous sorption of U(VI). The maximum sorption capacity of PCM-40 for U(VI) reached up to 301.9 mg/g at pH 4.5 and 298 K. The thermodynamic parameters indicated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process. The main sorption mechanism was attributed to the complexation of uranyl ions with the amine/imine and hydroxyl groups. The high sorption capacity, fast kinetics, and relatively good selectivity make PCM-40 a promising candidate for radioactive pollution cleanup.

Summary: Modification of chitosan through methods such as grafting and cross-linking is a promising approach for removing organic and inorganic pollutants from aqueous medium. The performance of modified chitosan for adsorption of pollutants depends largely on the modification method adopted, materials used, and adsorption experimental conditions.
