It made a batch adsorption test to explore the adsorption performance of Cs⁺. The main research contents are as follows: A phase transition synthesis method is used to composite PVDF material with powdered ion sieve HZnTO to form a microporous hydrophobic polymer membrane HZnTO@PVDF. The higher the pH in the solution, the greater its saturated adsorption capacity. The composite membrane maintains good stability in both acidic and alkaline solutions. Compared with the powdered ion sieves, HZnTO@PVDF the adsorption rate is significantly faster, reaching saturated adsorption capacity in about 2 h in 3000 mg/L Cs⁺ solution. HZnTO @ PVDF has good cyclic adsorption stability, maintaining 90.33 % of the initial adsorption capacity after five adsorption-desorption cycles. Moreover, after 5 cycles, the composite membrane still maintained the integrity of its original structure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":378,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid State Chemistry","volume":"347 ","pages":"Article 125327"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143738194","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}

The appropriate synthesis of the adsorbent and the stability of the MOF throughout the modification were confirmed by multiple analyses.

Compared to KL, ZIF-8@AK possessed more functional groups and rougher surface with ordered pore structure, which supplied more active sites to adsorb U(VI), thus resulting in better U(VI) removal performances. Specially, the U(VI) separation capacity on ZIF-8@AK was up to 733.4 mg/g, much higher than that of KL (230.9 mg/g). Meanwhile, ZIF-8@AK still exhibited favorable recoverability with the separation rate of 89.7 % at the fifth cycle. Based on the conclusions of isotherm and kinetic models, the U(VI) separation process on ZIF-8@AK was mostly dependent on single-layer chemical reaction. Combining the results of SEM, FTIR, XRD and XPS for ZIF-8@AK before and after U(VI) separation, electrostatic interaction, coordination interaction and hydrogen bonds were the main interaction between ZIF-8@AK and uranyl. To sum up, this work supplied an appealing composite with high adsorption capacity and good recoverability, which was promising to be used for wastewater disposal.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":378,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid State Chemistry","volume":"347 ","pages":"Article 125317"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143706349","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}
