Structural properties and adsorption of uranyl ions on the nanocomposite hydroxyapatite/white clay

Abstract Uranium is more and extensively applied as a source of energy can be potentially used for nuclear weapon production. Owing to that fact, the problem uranium expansion in environment object research draw attention many scientists. One most effective methods removal from wastewater (where present low concentration occurs mainly form uranyl ion, UO 2 2+ ) adsorbent usage. It important discover an which will effective, widely available cheap. The paper discusses properties ability U (VI) adsorption on clay nanocomposite clay/Hap (hydroxyapatite) obtained by wet method. adsorbents were characterized mentioned below tests: XRD, XRF, porosity (nitrogen adsorption–desorption method), zeta potential, surface charge density sorption (VI). was shown nanocrystalline composites Hap/white appropriate ions. depends temperature pH solution.
