Sorption studies of U(VI) on Amberlite XAD-2 resin impregnated with Cyanex272

U(VI) sorption from nitric media using Cyanex272 impregnated on Amberlite XAD-2 resin has been studied using batch method. The influence of different experimental parameter such as aqueous acidity, effect of time, influence of eluting agents on U(VI) uptake was evaluated. The maximum sorption capacity of 0.168?mmol?g^?1 of U(VI) evaluated based upon these studies. Sorption of U(VI) follows both the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms.
