The magnetic yolk/shell CoFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 @PIL-AO composite material was prepared by chemical synthesis and was characterized with FTIR, SEM and XPS. The adsorption of U(VI) on CoFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 @PIL-AO as a function of solution pH, adsorption time, initial U(VI) concentration and temperature was investigated. The experimental results show that the CoFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 @PIL-AO has strong adsorption capacity for U(VI), with the adsorption rate reaching the highest value of 97.54%, when c 0 =0.2 mg•L -1 , pH=6.00±0.05, T=298.15 K, m=0.02 g and t =...
