摘要

Abstract

In this paper, waste clay was cured with ethyl acetate to obtain treated clay (TC), which was modified with gallic acid to obtain a low-cost sorbent that was characterized by EDX, SEM, and FTIR analysis. Uranium(VI) adsorption was achieved using the batch adsorption method on the TC and gallic acid modified treated clay (GMTC). The maximum uptakes of U(VI) on TC and GMTC were 37.2 and 193.0 mg/g, respectively. The U(VI) adsorption kinetics on the TC and GMTC sorbents were well-fitted by the pseudo-second-order mechanism, and the adsorption equilibrium followed the Langmuir model. The optimum parameters were applied to El Sela leach solution for uranium recovery.
