As an important nuclear material, uranium is one of the most concerned elements in the nuclear fuel cycle, which could interact with many inorganic and organic ligands. Amine templates have a significant structural-oriented effect on the construction of uranyl oxalate complex. In this work, the piperazine diamine templates were used to synthesize uranyl oxalate complex and their crystal structures were resolved by single crystal diffraction, and their spectra were studied by IR, Raman, UV–vis, fluorescence, and EPR techniques. The final results show that crystal structures, properties and applications of uranyl oxalate complex have a close correlation with polyamine templates. The single crystal structure results show that the structural-oriented effect of piperazine diamine template is greatly affected by the proportion and concentration of solute in the surrounding environment. And the alkyl substituents on N atoms of amine templates are related to the tight of structures. Interestingly, 5# has a potential application as the original material for multiple reuse of fluorescent sensor materials. At present, there is no clear and in-depth study on the internal mechanism of such phenomena in solid uranyl complexes, and the specific mechanism needs to be further explored.
The research was designed to test the properties of Iron-Oxide-Coated-Zeolite (IOCZ) for adsorption of methyl orange (MO) from synthetic solutions. Contact time and equilibrium MO concentration were adopted to study their effects on MO adsorption. The results showed that adsorbent quantity of MO onto IOCZ increased with the equilibrium concentration increasing. The equilibrium data was fitted better by Freundlich model. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG0, ΔH0, and ΔS0) were also determined from the temperature dependence. The results showed that the process of adsorption MO was spontaneous and endothermic process and an increase in temperature favored the adsorption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
