Abstract:
      Effects of pH value, reaction time, ionic strength and humic acid(HA) on U(Ⅵ) adsorption by steel slag were studied by batch method. The experiments show that U(Ⅵ) removal by steel slag rises slowly first, then rapidly with time, and reaches adsorption equilibrium at 10 h. Ionic strength is mainly affected by compensation competition between charge and electrolyte ions and adsorbate ions exchange. With initial pH value of 3-5, adsorption capacity drops significantly with increase of ionic strength. With initial pH value of 6-9, adsorption capacity rises gradually with no significant change. At high pH value, influence of ionic strength on adsorption is obviously weakened. HA significantly promotes adsorption of U(VI) on steel slag with initial pH<3.5. HA has an inhibiting effect on adsorption of U(Ⅵ) with initial pH>4, and enhances with increase of initial pH value.
