    Abstract

    Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) has been widely applied to eliminate radionuclide U(VI). However, poor stability and low efficiency restrict the employment of pure NZVI. In this study, surface passivation and dispersion technology were employed together. Ca-Mg-Al layered double hydroxide supported sulfide NZVI (CMAL-SNZVI) was synthesized and applied for U(VI) elimination. Macroscopic and microscopic investigations demonstrate the outstanding physicochemical properties, high reactivity and excellent performance for U(VI) removal. The reaction process can be achieved equilibrium within 2 h and the maximum elimination capacity reaches 175.7 mg·g -1. The removal mechanism of U(VI) on CMAL-SNZVI is the synergistic effect between adsorption and reduction, through which U(VI) can be adsorbed by CMAL base and the SNZVI surface via inner-sphere surface complexation, U(VI) can be reduced into less toxic and insoluble U(IV) by Fe 0 inner core. Overall, the synthetization of CMAL-SNZVI can lead a new direction of NZVI modification. In the meantime, the outstanding performance of U(VI) removal indicate the potential of CMAL-SNZVI as excellent material for environment remediation.
