Uranium was not only the main source of nuclear energy but also one of the long-lived radionuclide. Herein,a novel arginine modified hydroxyapatite carbon microsphere composites (defined as C@HAp/ Arg) obtained promptly via a one-step mild hydrothermal method,was applied to remove U(VI) from aqueous solutions. Based on the characterization of transmission electron microscopy (TEM),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),the synthesized C@HAp/Arg presented globular morphology and abun...
