| Zusammenfassung: | Effluent from nuclear power plants, rocks, and minerals contains hazardous radionuclides that adversely affect human health and seriously threaten the environment. To address this issue, simple, economic, and sustainable magnetite nanoparticle loaded sodium alginate copper metal-organic framework composite beads (MNPs-SACu MOF composite beads) have been designed, and their performance has been evaluated under varying conditions of pH, time, adsorbent dose, and initial concentration and have been studied by batch adsorption studies for optimizing the adsorption conditions. In this work, MNPs-SA@Cu MOF composite beads have been prepared in situ for the adsorptive removal of uranium [U(VI)] and thorium [Th(IV)] ions from an aqueous solution. The synthesized MNPs-SA@Cu MOF composite beads were characterized by model analytical techniques like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and thermal gravimetric analysis. Here, 6 mg of adsorbent with 10 mL of 50 mg/L uranium and thorium ion solution at pH 5 was capable of removing the U(VI) and Th(IV) ions with 99.9 and 97.7% removal efficiencies, respectively. The obtained results showed that the adsorption behavior of the adsorbent for U(VI) and Th(IV) follows pseudo-second-order kinetics, and Langmuir isotherm fitted well with a maximum adsorption capacity of 454.54 and 434.78 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption mechanism indicated that electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding are the main driving forces for removing the U(VI) and Th(IV) ions. It can be reused for up to 10 adsorption-desorption cycles with minimal loss of removal efficiency. The easy synthesis method of MNPs-SA@Cu MOF composite beads and the high removal efficiency of U(VI) and Th(IV) ions reveal that they can potentially treat radionuclide waste effectively |
