Abstract
The aim of this work is to prepare environmentally friendly and practically applicable alginate magnetic biopolymers encapsulated tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) for the removal uranium ions. Some important process parameters such as initial pH, initial U(VI) concentration, adsorbent dosage, time, temperature and sorption isotherms for uranium uptake were studied and the thermodynamic parameters for U(VI) were determined.
