摘要

Many adsorbents have been developed for uranium recovery to ensure global energy and environmental security. However, most reported adsorbents involve complex preparation process and rely heavily on petrochemical feedstocks, which undoubtedly increases carbon emissions from production in the nuclear industry. Here, a biomass aerogel (CS-BT) is prepared by the facile cross-linking of chitosan and bayberry tannins with glutaraldehyde. U(VI) can be adsorbed by hydroxyl groups on CS-BT aerogel via chelation, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the obtained aerogel to U(VI) is \({140}\text { mg}\cdot \text {g}^{-1}\) 140 mg · g - 1 and the removal rate reaches up to 99% (at 298.15 K, pH = 5.0). The pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Freundlich model can better match the adsorption process of CS-BT aerogel, implying that its adsorption is a chemical adsorption process dominated by multilayer adsorption. The thermodynamic results show that the adsorption process of U(VI) by CS-BT aerogel is spontaneous and exothermic. Hence, our biomass aerogel can effectively extract uranium from water, contributing to the sustainable development of the nuclear industry.
