Abstract

The uptake of thorium from aqueous systems by ignited Sarcotragus muscarum(L. Schmidt, 1864), collected from Kusadasi Region at Southwest of Turkeyas an adsorbent has been investigated. The thorium(IV) uptake was studiedas a function of pH, ion concentration and temperature. At the determinedoptimum conditions, the sorption of thorium on ignited sponge follows a Langmuir-typeisotherm. We assumed that this phenomenon can be a sorption process. Kineticof thorium sorption was investigated at different time intervals at 25, 50and 70 °C. The reaction rate and diffusion constants were calculated forthese temperatures. The activation energy and .H° were found to be –19.04and –5.22 J/mol, respectively.
