摘要
Efficient elimination of U(VI) from uranium wastewater is an urgent task for sustainable nuclear energy and environmental protection. In this study, magnetic graphene oxide decorated graphitic carbon nitride (mGO/g-C3N4) nanocomposite was prepared and used for photocatalytic reduction of U(VI) in wastewater under visible LED light irradiation for the first time. The batch experiments indicated that the mGO/g-C3N4 (mGCN) nanocomposite could efficiently reduce U(VI) under visible LED light, and a high U(VI) extraction capacity of 2880.6 mg/g was obtained with an extraction efficiency of 96.02%. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) elemental mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses demonstrated that the soluble U(VI) was immobilized by transforming it to metastudtite ((UO2)O-2 center dot 2H(2)O) by mGCN nanocomposite under visible LED light irradiation. This work indicated that the mGCN is a promising visible light catalyst for treatment of uranium wastewater. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
