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).
