Abstract

Tetraphenyldithiodiphosphonate is synthesized by polymerization precipitation. The P = S bond of the material has strong polarity, which is conducive to improving the electron mobility of the complex and inhibiting the accumulation between molecules. The synthesized tetraphenyldithiodiphosphonate is characterized by FT-IR, SEM, XPS and XRD. In addition, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model is used to simulate the experimental data well, and the adsorption process conforms to the Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamic studies of adsorption have shown that the adsorption process is essentially a spontaneous endothermic process. At room temperature, tetraphenyldithiodiphosphonate demonstrates a maximum adsorption capacity for uranium(VI) reaching 398.8 mg g−1.
