Abstract
Chemically synthesized surfactants have promising applications in the treatment of uranium, however, their hazardous environmental effects, non-biodegradability, and numerous drawbacks prevent them from being widely used in practice. Herein, we successfully synthesized a green chelating and foaming integrated surfactant (BTBS) by Mannich reaction and acylation of bayberry tannin for the effective removal of UO22+ from aqueous environments or solid surfaces. The as-prepared surfactant was systematically characterized by FT-IR, showing that the hydrophobic groups were successfully grafted onto tannin. The modified material showed better foaming and emulsifying properties, which proved this method could improve the amphiphilicity of tannin. Moreover, for the first time, a foam fractionation method in conjunction with a tannin-based surfactant was applied for UO22+ removal from water. This surfactant was used as a co-surfactant and could readily remove 90 % of UO22+ (20 mg L-1) from water. The removal of UO22+ could be completed in a short time (30 min), and the maximum adsorption capacity was determined as 175.9 mg g-1. This surfactant can also be used for efficient decontamination of uranium-contaminated cotton cloth with a high removal rate of 94.55 %. In addition, the mechanism studies show that the adsorption of BTBS for UO22+ can be mainly attributed to a chelating mechanism between UO22+ and the adjacent phenolic hydroxyls. The novel biomass-derived BTBS with advantages such as high capture capacity, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness suggests that it plays an important role in the remediation of radionuclide pollution.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
The presence of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in natural water may cause potential threats to the environment. Adsorption is a convenient and efficient method to remove CIP from aqueous solution. Bayberry tannin (BT), a natural polyphenol, has been utilized in the synthesis of tannin foam (TF) due to its abundant polyphenolic hydroxyls to chelate with metal ions. The obtained TF was subsequently immobilized with Fe3+ via a facile chelative adsorption to fabricate functional tannin foam (TF-Fe), which was highly porous, with a porosity of 78.93%. The Fe species in the TF-Fe featured good dispersity, which were active for chelative adsorption of CIP. The adsorption of CIP on the TF-Fe was a pH-dependent process. At the optimized pH of 7.0, the TF-Fe provided the adsorption capacity of 91.8 mg g-1. When applied in removal of CIP at the low concentration of 2.0 µg mL-1, a high removal efficiency of 96.60% was still obtained, which was superior to commercial activated carbon (28.78%). The adsorption kinetics were well fitted by the pseudo-second-order rate model while the adsorption isotherms were well described by the Langmuir model. The TF-Fe was capable of recycling, which still maintained a high removal efficiency of 92.25% in the 5th cycle.

Abstract
A novel gelatin/PVA composite nanofiber band loaded with bayberry tannin (GPNB-BT) was prepared by electrostatic spinning and crosslinking for extraction of uranium (VI) from simulated seawater. The influential factors of tannin loaded on the nanofiber band were investigated in detail. Surface morphology and fiber diameter of GPNB-BT were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Functional groups of GPNB-BT were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR). The adsorption process and mechanism of uranium on GPNB-BT was characterized by Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The results revealed that the BT had been stably solidified on the GPNB. Compared with other tannin-immobilized membranes, the nano-network structure of GPNB-BT with 200-400 nm diameter of fibers can promote solidification of tannins and improve adsorption capacity of GPNB-BT for uranium. The maximum adsorption capacity of the GPNB-BT for uranium is 170 mg/g at the optimal pH of 5.5 in 80 mg/L of initial uranium concentration and 1.4 μg/g even at extremely low initial concentration of 3 μg/L in the simulated seawater for 24 h. The GPNB-BT with good hydraulic properties, floatability and adsorption capacity for uranium is expected to be widely used in separation and enrichment of uranium in seawater and radioactive waste water.

Abstract
We proposed a new approach for preparing an efficient uranium-selective solid phase extractant (HTC-btg) by choosing bayberry tannin as the main building block and especially glyoxal as crosslinking agent via a simple, economic, and green one-pot hydrothermal synthesis. The results of characterization and analysis show that after addition of glyoxal into only bayberry tannin-based hydrothermal reaction system, the as-synthesized HTC-btg displayed higher thermal stability, larger specific surface area and more than doubled surface phenolic hydroxyl groups. The sorption behavior of the sorbents toward uranium under various conditions was investigated in detail and the results indicated that the process is fast, endothermic, spontaneous, and pseudo-second-order chemisorption. The U(VI) sorption capacity reached up to 307.3 mg g(-1) under the current experimental conditions. The selective sorption in a specially designed multi-ion solution containing 12 co-existing cations over the range of pH 1.0-4.5 shown that the amount of uranium sorbed accounts for about 53% of the total sorption amount at pH 4.5 and distinctively about 85%, unreported so far to our knowledge, at pH 2.0. Finally, a possible mechanism involving interaction between uranyl ions and phenolic hydroxyl groups on HTC-btg was proposed.
