A novel adsorbent was synthesized through a specific synthetic route, and its structure and performance were experimentally confirmed to have promising application prospects in the treatment of nuclide-contaminated water.
To guarantee the sustainable development of the nuclear industry, it is vital to have a low-cost, green, and scalable route developed to synthesize efficient adsorbents for rapid and effective remediation of nuclide-contaminated water. In this study, a natural catechol derivative with unsaturated alkyl chain, urushiol, was aminated by mildly thiol-ene click with cysteamine to form a dopamine analogue, which can self-polymerize and trigger the formation of silicate plates into hydrogel framework and in-situ immobilize the potassium copper hexacyanoferrate, an efficient adsorbent, when hexacyanoferrate and excess Cu2+ were present in the silicate suspension. The chelation between Cu2+, poly-urushiol and hexacyanoferrate that assemble the hybrid hydrogel was confirmed by SEM and XPS and the performance of this hydrogel was evaluated in terms of adsorption capacity (214 mg g(-1)), selectivity (K-d >10(6) mg L-1), kinetics and reversible self-healing behavior with pleasing results obtained. The economic and nature-sourced property of the urushiol offers a green and novel concept to develop a satisfying adsorbing system for Cs+ removal.
