The syntheses of a novel nano-adsorbent for uranyl ions by copolymerizing of tetraethyl orthosilicate and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane on the surface of magnetic microparticle (Fe_3O_4). The adsorption abilities and mechanisms of the new adsorbent for the uranyl ions were studied through a series of adsorption experiments and mathematical models. The results indicate that this compo...
