Abstract The study investigated the adsorption behaviour of different activated carbon samples for pertechnetate under diverse conditions. Characterizations of A-CF-F and A-CF-Z samples were done using BET, FTIR, XRD, XRF and SEM–EDX methods. In batch experiments, maximum adsorption occured at pH 2, with a swift process and an optimal phase mixing time determined as 1 h for all of the samples. Analyzing experimental data using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models revealed coefficients of determination R 2 exceeding 90%. The Freundlich isotherm was found to be more suitable for describing the adsorption process.
