摘要

This study investigates oak charcoal (OC) for removing Th(IV) and U(VI) from aqueous solutions. Comprehensive characterization and batch experiments showed OC possesses high adsorption capacities of 165.9 mg g−1 for Th(IV) and 77.64 mg g−1 for U(VI) under optimal conditions (pH 4, 10 mg dosage, 25 °C). Adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and fit multiple isotherm models. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed spontaneous, exothermic adsorption. Effective regeneration potential was demonstrated using 0.1 M HNO₃, yielding high desorption efficiencies, achieving 78.90% for U(VI) and 85.00% for Th(IV). Findings highlight OC as a novel, efficient, eco-friendly adsorbent with significant potential for environmental remediation applications.
