Extraction uranium from complicated aqueous solutions (seawater and nuclear wastewater) has been promoting the development of multi-functional adsorbents with high adsorption capacities and high selectivity. Here, we proposed a co-immobilization approach to preparing uranium adsorbents. Due to specific recognition and binding between functional groups, bayberry tannin (BT) and hydrous titanium oxide (HTO) were co-immobilized onto nano collagen fibrils (NCFs). The adsorption performances of NCFs-HTO-BT to uranium were systematically investigated in two aqueous systems, including nuclear wastewater and seawater. Results proved that NCFs-HTO-BT possessed the remarkable adsorption capacities and affinities for uranium in wastewater (393.186 mg g-1) and spiked seawater (14.878 mg g-1) with the uranium concentration of 320 mg g-1 and 8 mg g-1, respectively. Based on characteristic analysis of the adsorbent before and after uranium adsorption, the hydroxyl groups of HTO, the adjacent phenolic hydroxyl groups of BT, and nitrogen-containing and oxygen-containing functional groups of NCFs were active sites for uranium adsorption.
