Abstract
for trace REE solution, respectively. Moreover, a pseudo-second-order kinetic model accurately described the sorption process, and the plotted isothermal data indicated that the Langmuir model was more suitable than the Freundlich model for Y and Eu sorption with monolayer and chemical adsorption. Meanwhile, FTIR and XPS analyses revealed that the Y and Eu adsorption on the DGA-M1N@PVDF composite membrane was mainly caused by the N and O atoms of the -CONH or -COOH groups coordinated with metal ions. Furthermore, after five cycles, the recovery efficiency by DGA-M1N@PVDF for REEs remains above 82% and the XRD patterns were consistent with the original sample, which implied that the DGA-M1N@PVDF membrane has preferable stability, recyclability and good efficiency in REE separation from waste phosphor solutions.
