Efficient removal of137Cs from various radioactive wastewater and contaminated environment is much meaningful for nuclear energy sustainable development and public health. Herein we used chitosan (CS) to induce the self-assembly of graphene oxide (GO) into a hydrogel (GO/CS) possessing a three-dimensional macroporous structure and produced a type of ternary composite hydrogel/aerogel named GO/CS/Cu-PBA byin situgrowing potassium copper hexacyanoferrate(II) (Cu-PBA) nanoparticles onto the GO/CSviasimple leaching. The adsorption behaviors of Cs+by GO, Cu-PBA, and GO/CS/Cu-PBA in various matrice was systematically studied and compared. It was found that the GO/CS/Cu-PBA exhibited satisfactory sorption capacity for Cs+(64.7 mg/g) and ultrafast kinetics. In addition, a fixed-bed column system could be employed for the cleanup of Cs+from contaminated groundwater. Further FT-IR, XRD, XPS, and EXAFS analyses clarified the interaction mechanism between Cs+and GO/CS/Cu-PBA. Highly selective fixation of Cs+by Cu-PBA was accompanied by the release of K+/Cu2+and a crystalline phase transition. The adsorption of Cs+by GO was mainly correlated with the electrostatic attraction by –COO−and C-OH groups. The confinement of Cu-PBA by GO/CS aerogel is of much potential for the practical treatment of cesium-containing radioactive wastewater.
