Thorium as a potential nuclear fuel for the next-generation thorium-based molten salt reactors holds significant environmental and economic promise over the current uranium-based nuclear reactors. However, because thorium (Th 4+ ) usually coexists with other rare earth elements, alkali or alkaline earth metals in minerals, or highly acidic radioactive waste, seeking acid-resistant sorbents with excellent selectivity, high capacity, and fast removal rate for Th 4+ is still a challenging task. In this work, we investigated a robust layered metal sulfide (KInSn 2 S 6 , KMS-5) for Th 4+ removal from strong acidic solutions. We report that KMS-5 could capture Th 4+ from a 0.1 M HNO 3 solution with extremely high efficiency (∼99.9%), fast sorption kinetics (equilibrium time < 10 min), and large distribution coefficient (up to 1.5 × 10 6 mL/g). Furthermore, KMS-5 exhibited excellent sorption selectivity towards Th 4+ in the presence of large amounts of competitive metal ions like Eu 3+ , Na + , and Ca 2+ . This extraordinary capture property for Th 4+ is attributed to the facile ion exchange of Th 4+ with K + in the interlayers and subsequent formation of a stable coordination complex via Th–S bonds. These results indicate that KMS-5 is a promising functional sorbent for the effective capture of Th 4+ from highly acidic solutions. |
