The invention belongs to the field of
uranium removal materials, and provides
uranium adsorption
montmorillonite /
chitosan composite hydrogel and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that a diethylenetriaminepenta (
methylene phosphonic acid) solution is added into a
chitosan suspension to adjust the pH to be acidic, a reaction is conducted, and an organic phosphonated
chitosan solution is obtained; mixing the organic phosphonated chitosan solution with a
montmorillonite suspension, and carrying out an
intercalation reaction to obtain a
mixed solution; mixing the
mixed solution with a
potassium tripolyphosphate solution, carrying out a first cross-linking reaction to obtain a flocculent suspension, carrying out
solid-liquid separation, and dissolving the flocculent suspension in water again to obtain a suspension; and uniformly mixing the suspension liquid with a
sodium alginate solution, dropwise adding the mixture into a
calcium salt solution, carrying out a second cross-linking reaction to obtain gel microspheres, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation and washing to obtain the
uranium adsorption
montmorillonite / chitosan composite hydrogel. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, a
potassium tripolyphosphate cross-linked organic phosphonated chitosan molecular chain is successfully introduced into a montmorillonite interlayer structure, so that the morphology structure of original montmorillonite is greatly improved, active sites on the montmorillonite
lamellar structure are enriched, and the application efficiency of montmorillonite in uranium-containing
wastewater is improved.
