A new composite material, diethylenetriamine-functionalized thiosulfate intercalated zinc-nickel-aluminum hydrotalcite (DETA-ZnNiAl-S2O32−-LDHs), was synthesized by introducing S2O32− between ZnNiAl-LDHs layers and grafting diethylenetriamine for functionalization modification. The morphological structure and physicochemical properties of samples were analyzed using XRD, FTIR, SEM and BET characterization. By analyzing the results of the batch removal experiments, it was found that the removal process of U(VI) by DETA-ZnNiAl-S2O32−-LDHs was ...
