However, the rapid development of the nuclear industry inevitably has adverse effects on the environment and human safety. Uranium, as the primary fuel for nuclear energy, generates highly toxic and radioactive uranium-containing wastewater during uranium mining and nuclear power plant operation. The toxicity of uranium-containing wastewater mainly depends on the content of hexavalent uranium (U(VI)), in which U(VI) is primarily expressed as uranyl ions (UO2). 2+ It exists in wastewater in the form of ).

[0003] Commonly used methods for treating uranium-containing wastewater include chemical precipitation, adsorption, biological methods, chemical reduction, ion exchange, and photocatalysis. Among these, photocatalysis has promising applications in the treatment of uranium-containing wastewater and the degradation of organic pollutants due to its advantages such as environmental sustainability, high efficiency, selectivity, wide applicability, and no secondary pollution.

[0087] Performance testing

[0088] The UiO-66(Zr) and the doped UiO-66(Zr) metal-organic framework materials prepared in the examples were observed using scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that:

[0089] Figure 1 The image is a SEM image of UiO-66(Zr) at high magnification. Figure 2 This is a high-magnification SEM image of UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) obtained in Example 2.

[0090] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 2It is evident that both UiO-66(Zr) and UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) exhibit irregular spherical particle shapes. Furthermore, due to iron ion doping, the diameter of the UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) nanospheres decreases. This change shortens the electron transport path within the nanospheres, thereby improving the electron-hole separation efficiency and enhancing the material's dispersion properties. This contributes to uniform distribution within the reaction medium, ultimately improving the efficiency of photocatalysis.

[0091] Figure 3 (a) shows the N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms of UiO-66(Zr) and the doped UiO-66(Zr) metal-organic framework materials prepared in Examples 1-3; Figure 3 (b) is a pore size distribution diagram of UiO-66(Zr) and the doped UiO-66(Zr-Fe-1) organic framework material, doped UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) organic framework material and doped UiO-66(Zr-Fe-3) organic framework material prepared in Examples 1 to 3, respectively.

[0092] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that all samples exhibit type IV adsorption-desorption isotherms accompanied by type H3 hysteresis loops, mainly due to capillary condensation, indicating the presence of mesoporous structures in the materials. This is consistent with... Figure 3 The results are consistent with those in (b). A distinct step appears at low pressure (P / P0 < 0.1), indicating the presence of a microporous structure within the material. Due to the rational design of Fe insertion, the pore volume and pore size of UiO-66(Zr) are significantly increased, helping to reduce mass transfer resistance and allowing the removed material to diffuse more easily from the solution into the internal channels of the nanospheres, thus accelerating the reaction rate. Specifically, when the molar ratio of Zr to Fe is 2:1, the specific surface area of ​​the doped UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) metal-organic framework material reaches 713.79 m². 2 / g, and pore size (5.75nm) and pore volume (1.03cm³) 3 The value of / g) reaches its maximum, as shown in Table 1. This makes the doped UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) metal-organic framework material potentially possess the best photocatalytic performance.

[0093] Table 1. Specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size of UiO-66, UiO-66(Zr-Fe-1), UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2), and UiO-66(Zr-Fe-3).

[0094]

[0095] Figure 4 The thermogravimetric curve of UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) prepared in Example 2 is shown.

[0096] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) only loses 11.80% of its weight within the temperature range of 30–402℃, indicating that the crystal structure of UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) is not destroyed at temperatures below 402℃. When the temperature rises to 439℃, UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) loses 45.92% of its weight due to framework structure destruction and collapse. When the temperature is above 439℃, the weight remains stable at 42.28% of the original weight, which should be due to the oxides of zirconium and iron. These results demonstrate that Fe ion-doped UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) exhibits excellent thermal stability as a photocatalytic material.

[0097] Figure 5 Transient photocurrent response diagrams for UiO-66(Zr) and UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) prepared in Example 2. Figure 5 It can be seen that the photocurrent density of UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) is significantly enhanced compared with that of pure phase UiO-66(Zr), indicating that UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) can generate more photoinduced electrons for photocatalytic reaction during the photocatalytic reaction.

[0098] Figure 6 Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) plots for UiO-66(Zr) and UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) prepared in Example 2 are shown. Generally, a smaller arc radius indicates a lower interfacial resistance, suggesting good interfacial charge migration properties. Figure 6 It can be seen that the doped UiO-66 (Zr-Fe-2) with the smallest arc radius has the best charge migration performance.

[0099] Figure 7 Photoluminescence spectra (a) and time-resolved photoluminescence spectra (b) of UiO-66(Zr) and UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) prepared in Example 2.

[0100] Depend on Figure 7 As shown in (a), UiO-66(Zr) exhibits a significant emission peak at 377 nm, while the fluorescence of UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) is partially quenched, and the photoluminescence peak intensity is the lowest, indicating that UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) has a better inhibitory effect on charge recombination. Figure 7 As shown in (b), compared with UiO-66(Zr)(0.844ns), UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2)(0.974ns) obviously has a longer average fluorescence lifetime, indicating that Fe ion doping can reduce photoinduced electron deactivation and thus improve photocatalytic activity.

[0104] 25 mg of UiO-66(Zr) and the doped UiO-66(Zr) metal-organic framework materials prepared in Examples 1-3 were weighed and added to a beaker containing 50 mL of 5 mL of ethanol and a 5 mg / L uranyl ion aqueous solution. The pH was then adjusted to 5 with negligible amounts of NaOH and HNO3 solution. A 300 W xenon lamp with an AM 1.5G filter was used to simulate sunlight, which was then vertically irradiated onto the reaction vessel. After a certain time, 1 mL of the supernatant was taken, filtered through a 0.22 μm injection filter, and the UO2 content was measured. 2+ The concentration was adjusted, and the reaction was continued for 180 minutes. Before irradiation, the solution was bubbled with argon gas for 30 minutes to remove oxygen and achieve an anaerobic state. The argon atmosphere was maintained until uranium extraction was completed.

Furthermore, UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) shows the largest reaction rate constant, at 0.022 min. -1 It is 11 times more efficient than UiO-66(Zr), exhibiting the best photocatalytic efficiency. This is likely due to UiO-66(Zr-Fe-2) having a larger specific surface area, the highest charge separation efficiency, and the best charge migration performance.
