Abstract

The kinetics and thermodynamics of U(VI) adsorption on Dowex-Marathon anionic resin have been studied. The process was well described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model for 0.02–0.1 M U(VI) concentration. The activation energy of U(VI) adsorption on Dowex-Marathon resin was determined: 6.62 ± 0.16 kJ/mol, indicating that the adsorption has a low potential barrier and corresponds to a physisorption. The thermodynamic parameter were evaluated: ∆G° = (−6.37)/(−9.23) kJ/mol, for temperature range: 20–60 °C; ∆H° = 14.57 kJ/mol and ∆S° = 71.48 J/mol K, the U(VI) adsorption being spontaneous and endothermic.
