Abstract

If U(VI) in seawater (unconventional uranium resource) can be extracted efficiently, it can provide important supplies and guarantees for the stable development of nuclear power. In this study, a mixing melting method without condensation agent was proposed to prepare ultra-high flexibility and different proportions DAMN modified EAA resin film (EAA-DAMN) through the condensation reaction between -COOH and -NH2 and the uniform mixing of liquid EAA and DAMN. In addition, the dense film structure and -CN of EAA-DAMN were transformed into multiple pores structure and amidoxime groups of the amidoximated EAA (AO-EAA) by amidoxime reaction. The AO-EAA-3 showed the most excellent adsorption performance (qe=146.40 mg g−1) at pH = 5, which was 2.33 times that of EAA. Moreover, a hypothesis was proposed for the first time that -NH2 in the material could combine with H+ ionized by water to form -NH3+, and then adsorbed NO3- in the solution through electrostatic attraction, and O element from NO3- adsorbed on the surface and N-O from amidoxime groups of material as the adsorption active sites performed coordination with U(VI), thereby improving the adsorption performance of AO-EAA.
