Abstract

Novel adsorption Algal polymer composite membrane composed of acrylic fiber wastes and grinded marine algae; Sargassum dentifolium was newly prepared using inversion precipitation technique. The adsorption of uranium and thorium from their waste solution was evaluated. The results indicated that the sorption capacities for U and Th were 62 and 59.4 (mg g−1), respectively, within short time. Adsorption experimental data demonstrated that both metal ions were well fitting with Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetics model. The reusability of the composite membrane indicates the stability and efficiency of it in U and Th removal from waste solution.
