Abstract:

ZnO@ZIF-8 core@shell microspheres were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and applied for the efficient adsorption of U(Ⅵ) from aqueous solution. The size of synthesized ZnO@ZIF-8 core@shell microspheres was in the range of 1—7 μm. The batch experimental results revealed that the sorption of U(Ⅵ) on ZnO@ZIF-8 was strongly dependent on pH, and the maximum sorption capacity of U(Ⅵ) on ZnO@ZIF-8 was 145.32 mg/g at pH=4.0. The adsorption mechanism could be mainly attributed to the coordination and the hydrogen bonding between ZIF-8 framework and UO22+ ions. Considering that the content of ZIF-8 in the composite microspheres was only 12.6%, the unit adsorption capacity of U(Ⅵ) is up to 1137 mg/g.
