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
