The adsorption of U(VI) onto peat moss has been studied as a function of uranium concentration, pH, shaking time and ionic strength. The pH and ionic strength of the solution markedly affect the extent of removal. The attainment of equilibrium is fast and the equilibrium data fit well the Freundlich, Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich equations. A probable mechanism of uptake is discussed. Further studies demonstrate that under optimum conditions peat moss can be used for the treatment of waste solutions containing low concentrations of uranium.
