Effects of dissolved organic matter molecules on the sequestration and stability of uranium during the transformation of Fe (oxyhydr)oxides

Yang Ding et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the associations between DOM and U during the coprecipitation of DOM with Fh, and investigated the effects of DOM molecules on the kinetics of U release during Fe (oxyhydr)oxides transformation. The results showed that phenolic and polyphenolic compounds with different O/C ratios and aliphatic compounds contributed to UO22+ binding when Fh coprecipitated with DOM. In contrast, phenolic and polyphenolic compounds with higher O/C ratios and condensed aromatics were preferentially retained on Fe (oxyhydr)oxides during the transformation. XPS results suggested that the coprecipitated DOM molecules facilitated the reduction of U(VI) to U(IV) during the transformation.

Independent and synergistic bio-reductions of uranium (VI) driven by zerovalent iron in aquifer

Jianping Lu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the successful application of zerovalent iron (Fe(0)) for the biological reduction of uranium (VI) [U(VI)]. The experiments conducted in a continuous-flow biological column showed that Fe(0) supported U(VI) reduction achieved a maximum removal efficiency of 100% and a capacity of 46.4 +/- 0.52 g/(m(3).d). The longevity of Fe(0) was also significantly increased. Metagenomic analysis revealed the upregulation of genes involved in U(VI) reduction and Fe(II) oxidation. This research provides a promising remediation strategy for U(VI)-polluted aquifers.

Tuning excited state electronic structure and charge transport in covalent organic frameworks for enhanced photocatalytic performance

Zhongshan Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, a family of isoreticular crystalline hydrazide-based COF photocatalysts was constructed using reticular chemistry, with their optoelectronic properties and local pore characteristics modulated by different linkers. The excited state electronic distribution and transport pathways in the COFs were investigated at a molecular level using experimental methods and theoretical calculations. One of the developed COFs, COF-4, exhibited remarkable excited state electron utilization efficiency and charge transfer properties, achieving a record-high photocatalytic uranium extraction performance of approximately 6.84 mg/g/day in natural seawater among all techniques reported so far. This study provides a new understanding of COF-based photocatalyst operation and guides the design of improved COF photocatalysts for various applications.

Efficient extraction of radionuclides with MXenes/persimmon tannin functionalized cellulose nanofibers: Performance and mechanism

Fenglei Liu et al.

Summary: A bio-adsorbent was prepared by introducing persimmon tannin and amino-functionalized MXenes into dialdehyde cellulose nano-fibres. The bio-adsorbent possessed a fibrous structure, abundant active groups, and high chemical stability. It showed high uptake amounts towards U(VI) and Th(IV). The adsorption data followed Langmuir and Pseudo-second-order models, indicating electron sharing between bio-adsorbents and adsorbates. The competitive adsorption studies found that the bio-adsorbent had a selective affinity for U(VI)/Th(IV), with a slight decrease in removal efficiency after multiple adsorption-desorption cycles. The elimination of radionuclides mainly depended on strong coordination, complexation, and the synergetic effect of surface adsorption and intercalation adsorption. Thus, this bio-adsorbent has significant potential for the treatment of radioactive wastewater.

Electrostatic self-assembly of nanoscale FeS onto MXenes with enhanced reductive immobilization capability for U(VI) and Cr(VI)

Fenglei Liu et al.

Summary: MXenes-decorated nanoscale FeS composites were prepared via electrostatic self-assembly strategy for efficient U(VI)/Cr(VI) adsorption-reduction. Different analytical techniques characterized the materials and confirmed the desired morphology and properties. MXenes improved the dispersion of FeS nano-particles and suppressed aggregation. The adsorption data followed the Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo-second-order equation, with maximum removal efficiencies of 88.5 and 107.2 mg/g for uranium(VI) and chromium(VI). The presence of other cations and anions had no significant influence on U(VI)/Cr(VI) removal, and the elimination process was spontaneous and endothermic. The work demonstrated the potential of MXenes-based materials for wastewater decontamination.

Elimination mechanisms of U(VI) and Se(IV) by MBenes supported Fe3S4 micro-crystal: Synergy of adsorption, reduction and transformation

Fenglei Liu et al.

Summary: A MBene based Fe3S4@MBenes composite was constructed and investigated for the removal of U(VI) and Se(IV). Results showed that the addition of MBenes could improve the performance of Fe3S4 by restraining its aggregation and enhancing its antioxidant ability. Kinetic and isotherm studies revealed that the adsorption of U(VI)/Se(IV) followed a chemical rate-limiting process and conformed to the Langmuir isothermal model. Characterization analysis and DFT calculation demonstrated that U(VI)/Se(IV) were removed through synergistic adsorption-reduction effect. Fe3S4@MBenes was found to be a feasible method for practical remediation of radionuclides.

Synergy of photocatalytic reduction and adsorption for boosting uranium removal with PMo12/UiO-66 heterojunction

Zhibin Zhang et al.

Summary: In this work, a new strategy for U(VI) removal using the PMo12/UiO-66 heterojunctions combining adsorption and photocatalytic reduction was proposed. The PMo12 was encapsulated in the cavities of UiO-66 using a one-step hydrothermal method, resulting in PMo12/UiO-66 with high adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity. The study showed that 15% PMo12/UiO-66 had a maximum theoretical sorption capacity of 225.36 mg/g for U(VI) and the photoreduction rate was about thirty times higher than that of UiO-66. Under light irradiation, the photogenerated electrons rapidly transferred from UiO-66 to PMo12, effectively reducing pre-enriched U(VI) to U(IV). This work provides new insights into the remediation of the radioactive environment.

Uranium re-adsorption on uranium mill tailings and environmental implications

Summary: The study comprehensively investigated the role of uranium re-adsorption behaviors during leaching tests with uranium mill tailings, revealing the influence of environmentally relevant factors on U re-absorption capacity and mechanism on UMTs with different particle sizes. The findings suggest that the environmental hazards and ecological risks of the U containing (waste) solids might have been underestimated due to the ignorance of the readsorption process, since the re-adsorbed U could be easily re-mobilized. Insights from this study are also helpful in developing effective in-situ remediation strategies.
