Summary: In this paper, phosphate-modified biochar supporting nano zero-valent iron (PBC/nZVI) was successfully prepared and fully characterized. The introduction of polyphosphate greatly increased the specific surface area of biochar pores, and then zero-valent iron was evenly distributed on the material surface, leading to excellent removal performance of PBC/nZVI for U(VI). This work proves that PBC/nZVI has a wide application prospect in the field of uranium wastewater treatment.

Summary: Based on stable Zr6O4(OH)4 metal clusters, UiO-67 was used for U(VI) adsorption and compared with UiO-66. It was found that UiO-67 had a larger surface area and pore volume than UiO-66, leading to 1.68 times higher adsorption capacity for uranium. However, the chemical stability of UiO-67 decreased with the extension of organic ligands. The carboxyl groups in UiO-67 were found to participate in the chemisorption of U(VI).

Summary: In this study, composite microspheres FMCS-1 were prepared by modifying MIL-125-NH2 with Fe3O4 and chitosan. The introduction of chitosan effectively prevents the stacking of MOFs, and Fe3O4 solves the problem of difficult separation. FMCS-1 exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 109.46 mg/g for toxic Cr(VI) at pH = 2. The adsorption of Cr(VI) by FMCS-1 was chemical adsorption and FMCS-1 showed acid resistance and recyclability. This work expands the application of MOFs in water treatment and provides an effective adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal.

Summary: The study demonstrates that nZVI can effectively remove U(VI) from strongly alkaline solutions in anaerobic conditions, with a reduction efficiency of up to 95.5%, but the efficiency drops significantly in aerobic conditions due to oxidation and desorption processes. This offers new insights into the mechanisms of U(VI) interactions with nZVI in alkaline media and provides a potential approach for uranium recovery from spent nZVI.

Summary: An efficient method for phosphate removal from wastewater is urgently needed due to the environmental issue caused by excessive phosphorus. In this study, calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-LDHs) and six amino acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-amino acid-LDHs) were prepared and compared for their phosphate adsorption performance. L-Aspartic acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-Asp-LDHs) exhibited the highest phosphate adsorption capacity and faster removal rate compared to CaAl-LDHs. The phosphate adsorption mechanism on CaAl-Asp-LDHs involved electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonds, complexation, and ion exchange. This environmentally friendly material shows promising potential for efficient phosphate removal from aquatic environments.

Summary: Studying the diffusion properties of hydrogen is important for designing new proton conductors. In the past, the chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in proton conductors was usually obtained through a manual calculation method, resulting in difficulty in controlling the calculation accuracy. To address this issue, a mathematical algorithm and C language computer program were developed to calculate the chemical diffusion coefficient based on Fick's second law and Romberg numerical integral. The algorithm showed high precision and powerful computing function, and has the potential to replace the manual calculation method in calculating the chemical diffusion coefficient for hydrogen in proton conductors.
