Abstract
• Three manganese oxide materials with recyclability was prepared. • The MnO-600 presented wonderful adsorption property for U(VI). • The adsorption capacity of U(VI) on the MnO-600 was 635.4 mg/g. • The removal efficiency remained above 90% after five cycles. Three kinds of nano-manganese oxide materials were prepared at different temperature (500, 600 and 700 °C) using chitosan as the template agent. The results showed that there was no sintering and agglomeration in the calcination of nano-manganese oxide at 600 °C, while the manganese oxide material calcined at 700 °C showed pore collapse and agglomeration and the template agent was incompletely removed in the manganese oxide material calcined at 500 °C. The adsorption properties of uranium (VI) on the three manganese oxide materials were investigated. The experimental results showed that the adsorption behavior conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models, revealing that the adsorption behavior of uranium (VI) on manganese oxide materials was a uniform and monolayer chemical adsorption process. The adsorption capacity of MnO-600 was 635.4 mg/g and the adsorption efficiency was above 90% after five cycles. In conclusion, the novel manganese oxide materials would have a prospect for application in wastewater treatment.
