The effective removal of low concentration of uranium using a biocomposite: bacteria modified by Fe3O4 and ZIF-8-PA
摘要
A novel biocomposite (CBP@Fe3O4@ZIF-8-PA) was synthesized to remove uranium contamination from water resources. It showed excellent adsorption capacity for low-concentration U(VI) (1 mg L−1) over a wide pH range (3–8), with a maximum adsorption rate of 99.25%. The pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models fit the adsorption processes well. Most coexisting ions had minimal impact on adsorption within a certain concentration range. The re-adsorption efficiency remained around 80% after five cycles. The biocomposite performed well under acidic, neutral, and weakly alkaline conditions, demonstrating its potential for practical applications.
