Research on the implementing conditions of inverse emulsion-breath figure method

The relationships between three steps of the inverse emulsion-breath figure (Ie-BF) method, including emulsion preparation, film casting and hydrophilic component loading, are explored by adjusting the experimental factors of the three implementing processes. For emulsion preparation step, the influence of the ultrasonification, the concentration of emulsifier and the addition of polymer on the size of the emulsion droplets are investigated. For film casting step, the influence of environmental humidity and several factors concerning the emulsion preparation on the porous structure of the resultant films are studied. It has been proved that high humidity is a necessity for obtaining surface pores, and multi-layered pores with disordered distribution can be formed in the bulk layer of the film when high water/oil ratio is used in making the emulsion. Bovine serum albumin is loaded into the emulsion water droplets, and by implementing the Ie-BF method under the condition of water/oil ratio being as low as 0.02 vol%, selective protein enrichment within the interior of the top-layer pores is still realized. It reflects the characteristics of “high efficiency, targeted assembly” in the step of hydrophilic component loading.

Adsorption behavior of trivalent americium and rare earth ions onto a macroporous silica-based isobutyl-BTP/SiO2-P adsorbent in nitric acid solution

To separate minor actinides from high level liquid waste (HLLW) of PUREX reprocessing, a silica-based macroporous isobutyl-BTP/SiO₂-P adsorbent was synthesized by impregnating isobutyl-BTP (2,6-di(5,6-diisobutyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)pyridine) extractant into the macroporous SiO₂-P support with a mean diameter of 60 μm. A partitioning process using extraction chromatography for the treatment of HLLW was designed consisting five separation columns. As a partly work focused on isobutyl-BTP/SiO₂-P separation column, adsorption behavior of ²⁴¹Am and trivalent rare earth (RE) from simulated HLLW onto silica-based isobutyl-BTP/SiO₂-P adsorbent was investigated by batch method. Meanwhile, the chemical and radiolytic stabilities of isobutyl-BTP/SiO₂-P adsorbent against 0.01 M HNO₃ solution and γ-ray irradiation were studied. It was found that isobutyl-BTP/SiO₂-P adsorbent exhibited good adsorption selectivity for ²⁴¹Am over RE(III) in 0.01 M HNO₃ solution and showed weak or no adsorption affinity to light and middle RE(III) groups. In addition, in stability experiments, isobutyl-BTP adsorbent showed excellent stability against 0.01 M HNO₃ solution and γ-ray irradiation over 4 months contact time.     

Adsorption and desorption behavior of tetravalent zirconium onto a silica-based macroporous TODGA adsorbent in HNO3 solution

To understand the separation behavior of Zr(IV) in the partitioning process for high level liquid waste, a silica-based macroporous adsorbent (TODGA/SiO₂-P) was prepared by impregnating N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyl-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamide (TODGA) into a macroporous silica/polymer composite particles support (SiO₂-P). Adsorption and desorption behavior of Zr(IV) from nitric acid solution onto silica-based TODGA/SiO₂-P adsorbent were investigated by batch experiment. It was found that TODGA/SiO₂-P showed strong adsorption affinity to Zr(IV) and this adsorption process reached equilibrium state around 6 h at 298 K. Meanwhile, HNO₃ concentration had no significant effect on the adsorption of Zr(IV) above 1 M. From calculated thermodynamic parameters, this adsorption process could occur spontaneously at the given temperature and was confirmed to be an exothermic reaction. This adsorption process could be expressed by Langmuir monomolecular layer adsorption mode and the maximum adsorption capacity were determined to be 0.283 and 0.512 mmol/g for Zr(IV) at 298 and 323 K, respectively. In addition, more than 90 % of Zr(IV) adsorbed onto adsorbent could be desorbed with 0.01 M diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid solution within 24 h at 298 K.
