In order to recycle Uranium (U) for the sustainable development of nuclear energy, diamide bipyridine (DABP) modified hierarchically porous carbon doped boron nitride (BCN-DABP) was synthesized as an adsorbent for the multipurpose removal of U. BCN-DABP displayed good adsorption performance for U in both weakly and highly acidic solutions. The hierarchically porous structure endowed BCN-DABP with ultrafast adsorption kinetics, and adsorption reached equilibrium within 180.0 and 0.5 min under pH = 4.0 and 2.00 mol L-1 HNO3, respectively. Moreover, combination of adsorption isotherm studies and DFT calculations showed that BCN-DABP possessed high adsorption capacities for U and displayed different adsorption performance under different conditions. BCN-DABP adsorbed UO22+ by chelation and electrostatic attraction under pH 4.0 and 2.00 mol L-1 HNO3, the maximum adsorption capacity under two conditions reached 818.7 and 1296.7 mg g-1, respectively. As a result, BCN-DABP is expected to be used for the rapid and efficient removal of U in various kinds of contaminated water. Furthermore, excellent salinity tolerance, good adsorption selectivity, and outstanding radiation resistance also endowed BCN-DABP with great practical potential for removing U in radioactive contaminated water as well as high level liquid waste.
