Abstract:
This paper described the equilibrium and the kinetic of uranium adsorption from
waste water using activated carbon without/with nano-iron impregnated, applying
batch method. Adsorption isotherms of uranium equilibrium are analysed with
Freundlich isotherms which reveal high affinity to activated carbon impregnated
with nano-iron compared to nonimpregnate. Kinetic study showed that the decisive
step of the uranium adsorption process rate is the intraparticle diffusion.
