Popis: The carboxymethylated chitosan (CMC)/Na-bentonite (Na-Bt) composite membranes were prepared and throughly characterized. The Na-Bt/CMC mass ratio was optimized, and CB10 (membrane with Na-Bt/CMC mass ratio of 10%) was selected as the best membrane for U(VI) sorption. XPS analysis indicates that the main mechanism for UO22+ sorption onto CB10 is through inner-surface complexation. The sorption kinetics followed pseudo-second order model, indicating the chemisorption as the rate-controlling step. The U(VI) sorption on CB10 is endothermic and spontaneous, with the maximum mono-layer adsorption capacity of 115.6 mg/g at pH 5.0 and 298 K. Finally, the U(VI)-loaded CB10 can consecutively desorbed and reused for several cycles.
