  • 1. Atomic Energy Commission, Damascus (Syrian Arab Republic), Div. of Hydrometallurgy

Description

Using of activated carbon to remove organic matter from phosphoric acid in uranium and P2O5 extraction units has high cost. A new study was conducted to establish a new material instead of activated carbon. Experiments were carried out on removing organic matter by adsorption on Syrian bentonite. The experiments of the removal of humic acid by Syrian bentonite gave good results and showed that the chemical and thermal activation of bentonite increased the adsorption efficiency. (Authors)
