Abstract
With the increase in petrochemical energy consumption and the limited reserves, the abundant and cheap sustainable biomass resources have been more space for development. Abandoned feather fiber (FF) is the main by-product of the poultry industry. It not only depletes resources unnecessarily, but also causes environmental damage. Uranium adsorption material made from waste feather fiber is a high value-added conversion of waste resources. In this study, phosphate ester group was used to modify the waste feather fiber to prepare an adsorption material (FF-EDGE-PT) with high affinity for uranium. FF-EDGE-PT had an absorption capacity (AC) of 268.45 ± 14.84 mg/g for uranium in a solution containing a uranium concentration of 8 ppm. The Langmuir isotherm model fitting reveals that FF-EDGE-PT has a maximum saturated AC of 877.19 mg/g. More importantly, FF-EDGE-PT also exhibits excellent recycling performance and selective adsorption, indicating that FF-EDGE-PT is a potential uranium adsorption material.
