摘要：

The adsorption of uranium by chitin phosphate and chitosan phosphate was investigated to obtain information on uranium recovery from aqueous systems, especially sea water and uranium mine waste water. The adsorption of uranium by chitin phosphate and chitosan phosphate was much greater than copper, cadmium, manganese, zinc, cobalt, nickel, magnesium and calcium. The adsorption of uranium was very rapid during the first 10 min and was affected by pH of the solution, temperature, granule radius and the co-existence of carbonate ion. The amounts of uranium adsorbed on the adsorbents increased linearly as the external uranium concentration increased. Uranium adsorbed on chitin phosphate easily desorbed with diluted sodium carbonate solution. On the other hand, uranyl and cobalt ions were separated from each other by using chitin phosphate.
