Description

Catalyst for extracting and separating uranium from uranium-containing wastewater or seawater and application of catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of new energy development, in particular to a catalyst for extracting and separating uranium from uranium-containing wastewater or seawater and application thereof.
Background
The development and utilization of uranium resources are of great significance for sustainable development of nuclear energy. However, land uranium resources have been found to be limited. The global sea water contains about 45 million tons of uranium, which is thousands of times the known land uranium resources. The method for extracting uranium from seawater which is widely studied at present mainly comprises an adsorption method, but the method has the advantages of poor selectivity, low extraction efficiency, difficult elution and high cost. The photocatalysis method provided in recent years provides a new idea for separating and extracting uranium in the water body. The photocatalysis method has the advantages of green, high efficiency, high selectivity, large extraction capacity and the like, and has wide application prospect. However, in practical application, the photocatalytic method can only occur under illumination, and the photocatalytic reduction of uranium can not be performed when no illumination exists at night, and reoxidation and dissolution of uranium reduction products are easily caused, so that the photocatalytic reduction efficiency is affected.
In summary, the existing photocatalysis uranium extraction technology has the following problems: the existing uranium photocatalytic reduction technology can only occur under the drive of illumination, and the uranium catalytic reduction cannot be continuously carried out in the dark and is easy to cause oxidation and resolubilization of extracted uranium. In summary, the existing technology still has difficulty in realizing continuous photocatalytic reduction of uranium under illumination and darkness, and achieves the purpose of extracting uranium from seawater in both day and night.

In addition, at 2170cm -1 A strong infrared vibration peak appears at the position corresponding to the asymmetric stretching vibration peak of the cyano group, and the result further confirms the successful doping of the cyano group.
(III) X-ray diffraction test
Taking the catalyst of example 1 as an example, and carrying out X-ray diffraction test on the catalyst, and the result is shown in figure 4, it can be seen that the catalyst material prepared by the method has obvious signal peak at the position of the diffraction angle of 27.9 degrees, and the signal peak corresponds to the (002) crystal face of graphite phase carbon nitride which is stacked in an interlayer; the diffraction angle is slightly shifted to a high angle compared with the diffraction angle (27.5 ℃) of the (002) crystal face of the classical graphite phase carbon nitride, which shows that the prepared catalyst material has smaller interlayer stacking distance than the classical graphite phase carbon nitride material.

or uniformly dispersing the catalyst material in a water solvent, regulating the pH to 5.5-6.5, adding a sacrificial agent, uniformly mixing to obtain a second mixed solution, irradiating the second mixed solution to change the color of the second mixed solution from yellow to blue under natural light or under a xenon lamp, at this time, forming stable reducing free radicals on the surface of the material, removing a light source, adding uranium-containing wastewater or uranium-containing seawater, uniformly mixing, reacting for 30-60 min, carrying out solid-liquid separation, and collecting separated solids to obtain a uranium-containing extract;
step 2, separating and extracting uranium:
oxidizing the uranium-containing extract in air for 8-16 h, adding a dilute nitric acid solution, uniformly stirring to elute uranium, filtering, and collecting filtrate to obtain a uranyl-enriched solution.
6. The use according to claim 5, wherein the sacrificial agent is any one of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, formic acid.
7. The use according to claim 5, wherein the ratio of the total volume of the aqueous solvent to uranium-containing wastewater or uranium-containing seawater to the catalyst is 1ml to 0.5-1.5 mg;
the dosage ratio of the sacrificial agent to the catalyst is 1 mL:4-8 mg.
8. The method according to claim 5, wherein the nitrogen is bubbled at a rate of 120mL/min for a period of 1 to 3 hours.
9. The use according to claim 5, wherein the ratio of the dilute nitric acid solution to the catalyst is 1ml to 5-10 mg;
the concentration of the dilute nitric acid solution is 0.05-0.15 mol/L.
