Ultrafine Cellulose Nanofibers as Efficient Adsorbents for Removal of UO22+ in Water

Ma, Hongyang, Hsiao, Benjamin S., Chu, Benjamin·2012·ACS Macro Letters

Abstract

Ultrafine cellulose nanofibers, 5–10 nm in diameter, were prepared from oxidation of wood pulp using the (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO)/NaBr/NaClO process followed by mechanical treatment. Carboxylate groups on the surface of these nanofibers provide negative charges, which are very effective to adsorb radioactive UO 2 2+ in water, evidenced by static adsorption and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. The UO 2 2+ adsorption capability of ultrafine cellulose nanofibers was about 167 mg/g, which is 2–3 times higher than those of typical adsorbents such as montmorillonite, ion imprinted polymer particles, modified silica particles/fibrous membranes, and hydrogels. The high UO 2 2+ adsorption capability can be attributed to the very high surface-to-volume ratio, high surface charge density, and hydrophilicity of ultrafine cellulose nanofibers, which can be used as effective media to remove radioactive metals from radio-nuclear wastewater.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
