Zusammenfassung:Extraction of radionuclide contaminants from wastewater systems has recently drawn widespread attention, and then developing a novel and green extracting technology has also become an enormous challenge. Herein, a facile hydrothermal method was employed to fabricate cobalt-incorporated cryptomelane-type manganese oxide molecular sieve (Co-OMS-2) for extraction Eu(III) from wastewater under diverse experimental conditions. All kinds of characterized techniques, such as SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, EDS and XPS had verified the qualified synthesis process and splendid structural features of the Co-OMS-2. The maximum adsorption capacity of Co-OMS-2 was 7.62 × 10−4 mol/g for Eu(III) at 298 K, which was superior than primarily traditional materials reported previous literatures. The high adsorption capacity of Eu(III) onto Co-OMS-2 was primarily attributed to high specific surface area and abundant surface functional groups, and the interactions were mainly contributed to strong surface complexation and electrostatic attraction. Under the condition of low pH, the outer-sphere surface complexation and cation exchange were primary mechanisms to Eu(III) adsorption onto Co-OMS-2 composites, while inner-sphere surface complexation was mainly assigned to Eu(III) adsorption onto Co-OMS-2 under the high pH sections. The Co-OMS-2 composite achieved equilibrium in a relatively short time, and this excellent performance was conducive to the treatment of Eu(III) under the extreme emergency conditions. In view of the extraordinary adsorption capacity and recycled reusability, the Co-OMS-2 composites can be as prospective adsorbents adopted for the extraction of Eu(III) in real wastewater management. •Oriented functionalization of Co-OMS-2 was successfully synthesized.•The maximum adsorption capacity of Eu(III) by Co-OMS-2 was 7.62 × 10−4 mol/g.•Co-OMS-2 displayed remarkable stability in the elimination of radionuclides.•The surface complexation and ion exchange were the main interaction mechanisms.
