Abstract In this study, the ZnO/PANF adsorbent was successfully synthesized by solvothermal self-assembly. The zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays were grown in situ on polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF) surface. Due to the introduction of ZnO, the adsorbent effectively increases the active sites on the PANF surface, thereby improving the adsorption capacity of pure PANF. The scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the material morphology. A series of batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the effects of pH value and initial concentration of uranium solution, contact time and temperature on the adsorption of U (Ⅵ). The results showed that the optimal adsorption amount of U(Ⅵ) of ZnO/PANF adsorbent was 248.14 mg· g-1 at 298.15 K, pH=6, C0=200 mg· L-1, and t=180 min, which is consistent with the pseudo-se-cond-order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption is an endothermic and spontaneous process. The adsorbent exhibits excellent ion selectivity and cycle reproducibility. It is worth noting that the removal efficiency of ZnO/PANF composites for low-concentration uranium is 89% and for real seawater and simulated seawater contaminated by radioactive waste can also reach more than 45%, demonstrating the potential of the adsorbent in the field of uranium extraction from seawater. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanisms of U(Ⅵ) by ZnO/PANF was detailed conducted by IR and XPS analysis, and could be ascribed to the oxygen-containing groups of -COOH and Zn-O.
