| Abstract: | A glycidyl methacrylate/divinylbenzene resin containing triethylenetetramine functional group was synthesized. The adsorption behavior of the obtained resin toward U(VI), Th(IV), and La(III) in aqueous solutions was investigated by batch and column techniques at different experimental conditions. Kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics of the adsorption process have been investigated. The regeneration of the loaded resin was also studied. |
