摘要

This work explores novel ZIF-8 adsorbents functionalized with -COOH and -NH2 groups to achieve efficient U(VI) separation. The morphology and other characteristics of the adsorption materials were characterized. The material demonstrated a high equilibrium capacity of 1043 mg/g within 5 min at pH = 4 and an initial uranium concentration of 100 ppm, along with excellent selectivity. The adsorption process was spontaneous and entropy-driven via chemisorption. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory revealed amide bond formation as the main adsorption mechanism. These findings highlight the potential of this material for U(VI) recovery from waste solutions, offering promising environmental applications.
