Abstract

Sorption of soluble uranyl peroxo cage clusters (U60 [UO2(O2)(OH)]60 60− and U24Pp [(UO2)24(O2)24(P2O7)12]48−) by mesoporous sorbent SBA-15 has been studied. Sorption kinetics of U60 and U24Pp are both best described by a pseudo-second-order model. However, only in the U60 sorption, intraparticle diffusion is the rate-determining step, and both pore size and pore volume of SBA-15 positively influence the U sorption capacity. Sorption isotherms of U60 and U24Pp are better fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. The differences of sorption behaviors between two clusters by SBA-15 may result from differences of the sizes and terminal ligands of the clusters.
