To address this limitation, a magnetic HAP/Cu₂O/NiFe₂O₄ (HCN) ternary composite was synthesized for efficient uranium removal. HCN combines several advantages: HAP provides abundant U(VI) adsorption sites; NiFe₂O₄ and Cu₂O form an S-scheme heterojunction, which exhibits excellent visible light response ability, enabling the reduction of U(VI) to U(IV) under solar irradiation. Fe(II) and cu(I) species in HCN reduce U(VI) to U(IV) while undergoing self-regenerating by capturing photogenerated electrons, sustaining Fe(II)/Fe(III) and cu(I)/cu(II) redox cycles. Moreover, HCN retains magnetic separation capability of NiFe₂O₄. Experimental results showed that the adsorption of U(VI) by HCN followed the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model under dark conditions, with a maximum of 237.7 mg g⁻¹. Under solar illumination, the U(VI) removal capacity increased to 380.1 mg g⁻¹—A 60.1 % improvement over adsorption alone—Demonstrating the importance of synergistic effect between photocatalysis and adsorption. Mechanism studies revealed that the superior adsorption performance of HCN originates from its abundant adsorption sites and ion exchange capacity, while the photocatalytic activity is attributed to strong visible-light absorption. U(VI) is initially captured by ion exchange and surface complexation, followed by U(IV) via dual pathway (direct electron transfer and Fe(II)/cu(I) mediation). HCN also exhibits recyclability, long-term stability and excellent ion-interference resistance. In summary, HCN demonstrates strong potential for the stable and efficient removal of uranium in water</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13609,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Chemistry Communications","volume":"182 ","pages":"Article 115598"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145229879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structural and morphological analyses confirmed the successful synthesis of CuMgAl-LDH with good crystallinity, and showed that calcination resulted in the formation of randomly distributed open pores. The synthesized material exhibited excellent performance in removing the azo dye Acid Blue 113 (AB113), achieving an adsorption efficiency of 98.1 % under batch conditions (10 mg, 50 mg L⁻¹, 20 min, and 296 ± 2 K). The AB113 dye removal was not sensitive to the initial solution pH, temperature, and the presence of co-existing ions. On the other hand, Calcination led to a marked improvement in the dye removal efficiency, especially at high concentrations. Kinetic and isotherm modeling revealed that the experimental data fit well with pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model. The thermodynamic study indicates that the process was spontaneous and endothermic. Adsorption mechanism of AB113 dye onto CuMgAl-LDH involved electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding interactions. The central composite design (CCD) within response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the experimental conditions for the adsorption process. The most influential factors were the CuMgAl-LDH mass (A), the initial concentration of AB113 dye (B), quadratic terms (A², B²), and interaction term (AB). An adsorption efficiency of AB113 dye under optimal conditions (10 mg, 50 mg L⁻¹, pH 8, 20 min, and 298 K) was 98.67 %, which is in good agreement with the batch experiments results. CuMgAl-LDH retained a high AB113 dye removal efficiency over six successive reuse cycles, owing to its memory effect.

The rate of intercalation of the metal complex on MMT clay was found to be much higher than the rate of the release of metal complex from the clay.
