Coconut husk activated carbon (CHAC) was used as an adsorbent to remove hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) from aqueous solutions by adsorption. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of contact time, pH, initial U(VI) concentration, and adsorbent dosage on U(VI) adsorption. The adsorption process reached an equilibrium state after 150 min. The uptake of U(VI) was highly pH dependent, and the optimum adsorption was at near-neutral pH. High U(VI) removal efficiencies could be achieved by increasing CHAC dosages. The uranium adsorption capacity increased with increasing initial U(VI...
