Abstract

In this study, the adsorption process was examined by various isotherm models Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich and equilibrium data were successfully described by Langmuir model. Adsorption thermodynamics of uranium (VI) on modified silica gel (SiAPMS-HL) has been studied within a temperature range from 293 to 333 K and the thermodynamic parameters, such as equilibrium constant (K D), standard free energy changes (ΔG°), standard enthalpy change (ΔH°) and standard entropy change (ΔS°), have been obtained. The desorption studies were conducted in batch system to investigate the kind, concentration and volume of the eluent.
