Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has aroused mounting attention in the field of uranium extraction from seawater. However, the attainment of high adsorption efficiency persists as a daunting challenge. Reasonable optimization of the pore morphology and structure of MOFs, along with precise grafting of multi-affinity sites, is pivotal for enhancing adsorption performance. Herein, we employed a synchronous synthesis strategy involving phytic acid (PA) − mediated hollowing and functionalization to optimize pore structure and functional sites simultaneously for H-MIL-AO@PA3. PA showed selective etching of the MIL-AO core layer, and we also optimized the reaction time to control structure evolution. H-MIL-AO@PA3 features a unique “dual-functional group − hollow pore channel” system, which enables highly efficient uranium adsorption (Qm = 406.50 mg g-1) according to the Langmuir model. Moreover, H-MIL-AO@PA3 demonstrates high selectivity (Kd > 4.2 × 105 mL g-1) and excellent reusability over five adsorption/desorption cycles for uranium. The adsorption process of H-MIL-AO@PA3 is in excellent agreement with the pseudo-second-order model, and equilibrium is attained within 30 min (C0 = 20 mg L-1). This work provides a new approach for the design of high-performance of adsorbents for uranium extraction from seawater.
