Batch adsorption experiments were performed on factors of p H,temperature, initial uranyl ion concentration, adsorbent dosage and contact time to evaluate the adsorption capacity. The results show that the saturation adsorption capacity is 5.7 mg·g^-1 using expanded rice husk powder treating uranyl ion aqueous solution（80 mg·g^-1） for 24 h at 25 ℃ with initial pH3. Adsorption process could be well described by Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption kinetic data are fitted well with pseudo-second-order model. The results obtained show that expanded rice husk adsorbent is a promising adsorbent for the removal of uranium from aqueous solutions.展开更多
