Abstract
It is quite important to ensure the safety and sustainable development of nuclear energy for the treat-ment of radioactive wastewater.To treat radioactive wastewater efficiently and rapidly,two multi-amineβ-cyclodextrin polymers(diethylenetriamine β-cyclodextrin polymer(DETA-TFCDP)and triethylene-tetramine β-cyclodextrin polymer(TETA-TFCDP))were prepared and applied to capture uranium.Results exhibited that DETA-TFCDP and TETA-TFCDP displayed the advantages of high adsorption amounts(612.2 and 628.2 mg·g-1,respectively)and rapid adsorption rates,which can reach(88±1)%of their equi-librium adsorption amounts in 10 min.Moreover,the adsorbent processes of DETA-TFCDP and TETA-TFCDP on uranium(Ⅵ)followed the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model,stating they were mainly chemisorption and self-endothermic.Besides,TETA-TFCDP also showed excellent selectivity in the presence of seven competing cations and could be effectively reused five times via Na2CO3 as the desorption reagent.Meanwhile,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy illustrated that the enriched multi-amine groups and oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of TETA-TFCDP were the main active sites for capturing uranium(Ⅵ).Hence,multi-amine β-cyclodextrin polymers are a highly efficient,rapid,and promising adsorbent for capturing uranium(Ⅵ)from radioactive wastewater.
