This study successfully synthesized nano-hydroxyapatite biomimetically and found that the morphology, crystallinity, and specific surface area of the synthesized CS/HAP nanorods influenced their U(VI) adsorption efficiency. The CS/HAP-40 with smaller particle size, lower crystallinity, and larger specific surface area exhibited higher removal efficiency for U(VI). Additionally, the removal mechanism of U(VI) in acidic and alkaline solutions differed.
The production of large amounts of uranium-containing wastewater and its potential hazards has stimulated green and efficient material removal of uranium (VI). Inspired by the natural mineralization of bone, a facile and eco-friendly biomimetic synthesis of nano-hydroxyapatite (HAP) was carried out using chitosan (CS) as a template. It was found that the reaction temperature and the amount of precursors influence the particle size, crystallinity and specific surface area of the CS/HAP nanorods, and consequently their U(VI) adsorption efficiency. Moreover, the synthesized CS/HAP-40 with smaller particle size, lower crystallinity, and larger specific surface area show a more efficient U(VI) removal compared with CS/HAP-55 and CS/HAP-55-AT. It has a maximum adsorption capacity of 294.12 mg.g(-1) of the CS/HAP-40. Interestingly, the U(VI) removal mechanism of CS/HAP-40 in acidic (pH = 3) and alkaline (pH = 8) aqueous solutions was found to be different. As one of the main results, the U(VI) adsorption mechanisms at pH 8 could be surface complexation and ion exchange. On the contrary, three different mechanisms could be observed at pH 3: dissolution-precipitation to form chernikovite, surface complexation, and ion exchange.
