Abstract

Functional β-cyclodextrin-attapulgite nanorods (β-CD-APT) were synthesized to remove U(VI) under varied environmental conditions. Adsorption results demonstrated that the removal capacity of β-CD-APT nanorods for U(VI) (51 %) was higher than bare APT (38 %). The thermodynamic data indicated that the adsorption of U(VI) onto β-CD-APT nanorods was an endothermic and spontaneous process. The desorption results showed a reversible hysteresis loop for β-CD-APT, suggesting complete U(VI) desorption could happen without intervention. It is demonstrated that the β-CD-APT nanorods can be a promising material for the preconcentration and solidification of U(VI) in environmental cleanup.
