Oxalate modification represents an eco-efficient strategy to address nanoparticle aggregation in nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) systems while synergistically enhancing U (VI) removal through coupled adsorption-reduction mechanisms. This study synthesized sodium oxalate-modified nZVI (OA-nZVI) via liquid-phase reduction. The oxalate coating effectively suppressed particle agglomeration induced by magnetic interactions and van der Waals forces. Systematic investigations were conducted to elucidate the morphological evolution of nZVI post-modification and its mechanistic behavior in uranium-contaminated groundwater remediation. Characterization revealed that OA-nZVI exhibited a transformation from irregular spherical particles to well-defined spherical geometries, accompanied by an increased Fe0 content in the mineral phase. Under optimized conditions (pH=5, 25 ℃, dosage=0.5 g/L), OA-nZVI demonstrated exceptional U (VI) removal efficiency. The enhanced performance originates from synergistic interactions: Carboxyl groups on oxalate ligands facilitated uranyl adsorption via surface complexation, and the Fe0 core mediated electron transfer for U (VI) reduction to U (IV). Subsequent oxidation generated goethite (α-FeOOH), which further immobilized uranium through hydroxyl coordination. The removal kinetics adhered to a pseudo-second-order model, while equilibrium data fitted the Langmuir isotherm, yielding a maximum theoretical adsorption capacity of 196.31 mg/g. Notably, competitive ions (Al3+and ) exhibited significant inhibitory effects, necessitating consideration in field applications.This work provides critical insights for developing advanced uranium remediation materials. Future research directions should prioritize: Evaluating material stability under complex hydrogeochemical conditions (e.g., high salinity with coexisting
/
), pH=3~10, and humic acid presence), and validating performance through dynamic column experiments simulating groundwater flow regimes and ion exchange processes. These investigations will bridge the gap between laboratory-scale achievements and practical engineering applications.
