In order to develop a deep method for removing trace acetic acid from industrial solvents, a type of quaternary ammonium-salt-modified magnetic microspheres was developed as a potential nanoadsorbent for low-concentration acetic-acid-enhanced removal from DMAC aqueous solution. The ion-exchange magnetic microspheres (Fe3O4@SiO2@N(CH3)3+) have been prepared by a two-step sol-gel method with N-trimethoxysilylpropyl-N, N, N-trimethylammonium chloride as functional monomer, tetraethyl orthosilicate as a cross-linking agent, Fe3O4@SiO2 as a matrix. The nanocomposite is characterized by SEM, FI-IR, XRD, VSM, and XPS. Moreover, the optimization of adsorption experiments shows that the maximum adsorption capacity of nanoadsorbent is 7.25 mg/g at a concentration = 30 mg/L, adsorbent dosage = 10 mg, V = 10 mL, and room temperature. Furthermore, the saturated Fe3O4@SiO2@N(CH3)3+ achieved an efficient regeneration using a simple desorption method and demonstrated a good regeneration performance after five adsorption/desorption cycles. In addition, Fe3O4@SiO2@N(CH3)3+ was used to remove acetic acid in DMAC waste liquid; the adsorption effect is consistent with that of a nanoadsorbent of acetic acid in an aqueous solution. These results indicate that Fe3O4@SiO2@N(CH3)3+ can efficiently treat acetic acid that is difficult to remove from DMAC waste liquid.

In this study, graphene oxide (GO) and polyacrylamide/polyacrylic acid (PAM/PAA) are used to prepare hydrogels with photothermal conversion properties for highly efficient uranium extraction from seawater. Zwitterionic 2‐methacryloyloxy ethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) is introduced in the PAM/PAA/GO hydrogel to obtain PAM/PAA/GO/MPC (PAGM), exhibiting good antibacterial properties. PAGM demonstrates efficient and specific adsorption of uranium (VI) (U(VI)). Under light conditions, the adsorption capacity of PAGM reaches 196.12 mg g−1 (pH = 8, t = 600 min, C0 = 99.8 mg L−1, m/v = 0.5 g L−1). The adsorption capacity is only 160.29 mg g−1 under dark conditions (pH = 8, t = 600 min, C0 = 99.8 mg L−1, m/v = 0.5 g L−1). The adsorption capacity of light is 22.5% higher than that of dark. The adsorption process is fitted using the Langmuir and pseudo‐second‐order models. Furthermore, PAGM exhibits good repeatability and stability after five adsorption–desorption cycles. PAGM exhibits a U(VI) adsorption capacity of 6.1 mg g−1 after storage for one month in natural seawater. The X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results demonstrate that the coordination of the amino, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups with U(VI) is the primary mechanism of U(VI) adsorption. The mechanism is confirmed through detailed density functional theory calculations. PAGM demonstrates durability, high efficiency, photothermal conversion properties, and antibacterial properties. Thus, it is a promising candidate for uranium extraction from seawater.
