Abstract

In this study, hydroxyl and carboxyl group functionalized Zr-based MOFs UiO-66 derivatives (UiO-66-R: UiO-66-(OH)2 and UiO-66-COOH) were prepared by a facile one-step method and used to remove Co(II) from simulated radioactive wastewater. The results showed that UiO-66-R have good adsorption properties with maximum adsorption capacities of 133.3 mg L−1 (UiO-66-(OH)2) and 125.6 mg L−1 (UiO-66-COOH). Furthermore, the Co(II) adsorption conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, belonging to the single molecular layer chemisorption, and the adsorption processes are spontaneous and endothermic. XPS patterns illustrate that the coordination effect is crucial in determining the adsorption process of the two materials. To explore the irradiation stability, FT-IR, XRD and SEM were used to study the morphology and structure of materials after irradiation (20-80 kGy). The characterization analysis of UiO-66-R illustrated that UiO-66-(OH)2 and UiO-66-COOH showed little change before and after irradiation, which indicated that both materials have good irradiation stability.
