Abstract

It has of practical significance for environmental protection to find adsorbents with high efficiency, high adsorption capacity and high selectivity to treat radioactive uranium-containing wastewater. The metal–organic framework compound UiO-66-(OH)2 was synthesized by refluxing ZrCl4 and 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at 80 ℃. UiO-66-(OH)2 was functionalized with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. UiO-66-(OH)2 amidoxime derivative obtained through chemical modification is used as adsorbent to adsorb U(VI). The result shows that the adsorption process of U(VI) on UiO-66-(OH)2 amidoxime derivative follows pseudo-second-order kinetics, the adsorption isotherm conforms to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The material has good adsorption performance whose experimental results showed that the adsorption ratio of UiO-66-(OH)2 amidoxime derivative was 87.4% at C0 = 15 mg L−1, pH = 10.0 and T = 25 °C, indicating that the UiO-66-(OH)2 amidoxime derivative is a potential uranium adsorbent.
