Robust 2D porphyrin metal-organic framework nanosheets for high-efficiency photoreduction-assisted uranium recovery from wastewater
SEPARATION AND PURIFICATION TECHNOLOGY(2023)
摘要
The elimination of highly radioactive and chemically toxic uranium from nuclear waste is of significance for radionuclide remediation and environment protection. Herein, two-dimensional (2D) porphyrin-based nickel (Ni-TCPP) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are successfully prepared by a simple surfactant-assisted strategy. Owing to highly accessible active sites and low diffusion barrier, 2D Ni-TCPP nanosheets present fast uranium capture by coordination of uranyl ions with TCPP ligands and Ni paddlewheel metal nodes. Particularly, 2D Ni-TCPP nanosheets display outstanding photocatalytic activity due to the merit of dual ligand-to-metal charge transfer pathways, greatly improving photoreduction-assisted uranium recovery performance. As a result, light-irradiated 2D Ni-TCPP adsorbents display fast removal of uranium from acidic wastewater, excellent selectivity and good reusability. Moreover, a high uranium removal rate can be maintained even in the presence of excess calcium ions. These advantages combined with good structure stability make 2D Ni-TCPP MOFs promising for selective uranium separation in nuclear waste remediation.
