A simple one-step approach for fabricating copper ferrocyanide-embedded magnetic hydrogel beads (CuFC-MHBs) was designed, and the beads were applied to the effective removal of cesium (Cs) and then magnetically separated from water. The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-coated CuFC (PVA-CuFC) was first synthesized using PVA as a stabilizer and subsequently embedded in magnetic hydrogel beads made of a cross-linked network between the PVA and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. The synthesis and chemical immobilization of the PVA-CuFC in the magnetic beads were simple, facile and achieved in one pot, and the process is scalable and convenient for the large-scale treatment of Cs-contaminated water. The resulting CuFC-MHBs showed effective Cs removal performance with a high Kd value of 66,780 mL/g and excellent structural stability without the release of CuFC for at least 1 month and could be effectively separated from water by an external magnet. |
