Adsorption of uranyl ions onto talc from aqueous solutions was investigated in batch adsorption experiments to explore the effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration, and the presence of competing metals on uranium's adsorption. The kinetic sorption data fitted well to a first-order kinetic model, affirming the efficiency of talc in uranium removal. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed using Freundlich, Langmuir, and BET models, revealing three distinct segments in the experimental isotherms, suggestive of multimolecular or cluster state adsorption of uranium on talc. The talc surface area was determined to be 3.5 m²/g, which was deemed insufficient for uranium's monolayer adsorption, indicating that the adsorption characteristics might have complex implications for uranium removal in environmental contexts. These findings underscore the potential of using talc for uranium remediation in contaminated aquatic environments, thus providing valuable insights for future research and application in environmental chemistry.
