摘要：

In this study, Fe0@Fe3O4 was synthesized and used to remove U(VI) from groundwater. Different experimental conditions and cycling experiments were used to investigate the performance of Fe0@Fe3O4 in the U(VI) removal, and the XRD, TEM, XPS and XANES techniques were employed to characterize the Fe0@Fe3O4. The results showed that the U(VI) removal efficiency of Fe0@Fe3O4 was 48.5 mg/g that was higher than the sum of removal efficiency of Fe0 and Fe3O4. The uranium on the surface of Fe0@Fe3O4 mainly existed as U(IV), followed by U(VI) and U(V). The Fe0 content decreased after reaction, while the Fe3O4 content increased. Based on the results of experiments and characterization, the enhanced removal efficiency of Fe0@Fe3O4 was attributed to the synergistic effect of Fe0 and Fe3O4 in which Fe3O4 accelerated the Fe0 corrosion that promoted the progressively formation of Fe(II) that promoted the reduction of adsorbed U(VI) to U(IV) and incorporated U(VI) to U(V). The performance of Fe0@Fe3O4 at near-neutrality condition was better than at acidic and alkalic conditions. The chloride ions, sulfate ions and nitrate ions showed minor effect on the Fe0@Fe3O4 performance, while carbonate ions exhibited significant inhibition. The metal cations showed different effect on the Fe0@Fe3O4 performance. The removal efficiency of Fe0@Fe3O4 decreased with the number of cycling experiment. Ionizing radiation could regenerate the used Fe0@Fe3O4. This study provides insight into the U(VI) removal by Fe0@Fe3O4 in aqueous solution. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
