摘要

Uranium recovery from seawater offers a sustainable solution for long-term nuclear fuel supply. A novel silica and chitosan synergistically modified biochar composite (OBC-Si-CS) with antibacterial properties was developed for efficient and selective uranium(VI) adsorption from natural seawater. The material exhibited a high adsorption capacity, excellent reusability, and significant selectivity for uranium, while resisting interference from common metal ions and rare earth elements. OBC-Si-CS demonstrated a 100% inhibition rate against V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus, and showed promising adsorption performance in dynamic tests with low-concentration uranium-spiked seawater, offering significant potential for large-scale uranium extraction from marine environments.
