Abstract

Language:

The contamination of wastewater with uranium presents a significant environmental challenge, necessitating effective removal and recovery techniques. This study aimed to investigate the separation and recovery of uranium from wastewater using a sorbent functionalized with hydroxamic acid. The methodology involved preparing the hydroxamic acid-functionalized sorbent and evaluating its efficiency in uranium adsorption through batch experiments. Key parameters such as pH, contact time, and initial uranium concentration were systematically varied to determine optimal adsorption conditions. Results indicated that the functionalized sorbent exhibited high selectivity and capacity for uranium uptake, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of X mg/g under optimal conditions. Additionally, the kinetics and isotherm studies suggested that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order model and was best fitted by the Langmuir isotherm. This research demonstrates the potential of hydroxamic acid-modified materials for the effective separation of uranium from contaminated wastewater, offering a promising approach for remediation strategies in the nuclear and environmental sectors.
