摘要

The growth of uranium-containing wastewater poses risks to resource recovery and the environment, creating an urgent need for efficient and selective adsorbents. Herein, a carbon nanotubes/polyacrylamide/sodium alginate (CNT/PAM/SA) dual-network membrane for efficient uranium adsorption was fabricated. This novel membrane demonstrates a high maximum capacity of 651.39 mg g−1 and rapid kinetics. Characterizations reveal a synergistic mechanism involving chemical complexation between U(VI) and functional groups, alongside physical adsorption by CNT. The enhanced mechanical stability provided by CNT contributes to superior performance, making the CNT/PAM/SA membrane a promising candidate for environmental uranium remediation.
