Abstract
Collection of uranium by salicyliden and glutariliden chitosans /Schiff's Bases/ was investigated to obtain information on uranium recovery from ores, especially carnotites. The collection of uranium by salicyliden /SDQ/ and glutariliden /GDQ/ chitosans was very rapid during the first 20 min and was affected by the pH of the solution, contact time and temperature. Uranium collected on SDQ and GDQ was easily eluted with diluted sodium bicarbonate solution. Also uranyl and vanadyl ions were separated from each other by using these biopolymers.
