Abstract

Poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-phloroglucinol) (PCPP) microspheres, a new solid phase extraction for extracting uranium(VI), synthesized via one-pot precipitation copolymerization. The PCPP microspheres were characterized by FT-IR, SEM/EDS, zeta potential and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms. Through the extraction experiment to evaluate the extraction behavior of the PCPP microspheres for uranium(VI). The extractant can achieve the optimal effect under the conditions of contact time with 60 min, pH = 3.5, initial concentration 100 mg L−1 and extractant dosage 0.70 g L−1. The extraction behavior obeyed with the pseudo second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model.
