Abstract
The uranium adsorption on activated carbon from dilute solutions was studied as a function of pH, uranium concentration and ageing time. Optimum conditions for quantitative adsorption of uranium from water solutions were determined: uranium concentration 2.5.10−4 g/l or less; adsorption must be carried out in fresh prepared solutions with ageing time not more than one hour; pH 7.5–8.5; time for achieving the adsorption equilibrium not less than 20 min. The instrumental neutron activation method was used for the uranium analysis.
