Engineered nano-magnetic iron oxide-urea-activated carbon nanolayer sorbent for potential removal of uranium (VI) from aqueous solution
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A novel magnetic nanosorbent was designed using chemical grafting of nano-magnetite (Nano-Fe 3 O 4 ) with nanolayer of activated carbon (AC) via urea intermediate for the formation of Nano-Fe 3 O 4 -Urea-AC. Characterizing was carried out using FT-IR, SEM, HR-TEM, TGA, point of zero charge (Pzc) and surface area analysis. The designed sorbent maintained its magnetic properties and nanosized structure in the range of 8.7–14.1 nm. The surface area was identified as 389 m 2 /g based on the BET method. Sorption of uranyl ions from aqueous solutions was studied and evaluated in different experimental conditions. Removal of uranyl ions increased with increasing in pH value and the maximum percentage removal was established at pH 5.0. The removal and sorption processes of uranyl ions by Nano-Fe 3 O 4 -Urea-AC sorbent were studied and optimized using the batch technique. The key variables affecting removal of uranyl ions were studied including the effect of the contact time, dosage of Nano-Fe 3 O 4 -Urea-AC sorbent, reaction temperature, initial uranyl ions concentration and interfering anions and cations.
