The removal rate of U（VI） at 30 °C reaches 99.0% afterd 96 h with the p H value of 7.0 and AQS concentration of 1.0 mmol/L. The effective concentrations of AQS as the accelerator for U（VI） bioreduction are approximately 0.5-1.0 mmol/L. The bioreduction of U（VI） is inhibited when the concentration of AQS exceeds 2.0 mmol/L. The coexistence of ions, such as Cu2＋, Cr6＋, Mn2＋, shows a remarkable negative effect on the U（VI） reduction, and Zn2＋ shows less influence on the process compared with other tested ions. The U（VI） reduction is remarkably inhibited when the concentration of nitrate ion exceeds 1.0 mmol/L. Otherwise, no difference is found when the nitrate ion concentration is less than 0.5 mmol/L. Sulfate ion（5.0 mmol/L） slightly promotes the U（VI） reduction. Zero-valent iron（ZVI） promotes the U（VI） reduction by S. oneidensis, and the reduction rate improves with increasing the amount of ZVI in the range of 0-2.0 g/L. The XPS result indicates that uranium deposits on the cell surface are in U（VI） and U（IV） forms, and the majority of uranium in the solution is stable UO2.展开更多

In this study,acrylic acid（AA） was grafted onto bentonite（BT） to generate an AA-graft-BT（AA-g-BT）composite using a plasma-induced grafting technique considered to be an environment-friendly method. The as-prepared composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray powder diffraction, thermal gravity analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Barrett–Emmett–Teller analysis, demonstrating the successful grafting of AA onto BT. In addition, the removal of uranium（VI）（U（VI）） from contaminated aqueous solutions was examined using the as-prepared composite. The influencing factors, including contact time,p H value, ionic strength, temperature, and initial concentration, for the removal of U（VI） were investigated by batch experiments. The experimental process fitted best with the pseudo-secondorder kinetic and the Langmuir models. Moreover, thermodynamic investigation revealed a spontaneous and endothermic process. Compared with previous adsorbents, AA-g-BT has potential practical applications in treating U（VI）-contaminated solutions.展开更多

The distribution ratios of U(VI) and Eu(III) as a function of aqueous HNO3 concentration , extractant concentration in organic phase and temperature as well as the salting-out agent con- centration have been measured. The experiment results show that picolinamide has higher extractability for U(VI) than for Eu(III). The composition of extracted species, equilibrium constants and enthalpies of extraction reaction have also been presented.展开更多
