Use of Manganese Oxide-Coated Sand for the Adsorption of Uranium(VI) Ions from Aqueous Solution Using a Column Mode by Weihua Zou, Jiyun Song, Ke Li, Runping Han

“…Continuous fixed-bed studies were undertaken to evaluate the performance of manganese oxide-coated sand (MOCS) as an adsorbent for the removal of uranium(VI) ions from aqueous solution under the effect of various process parameters such as the bed depth, the flow rate, the presence of salt and the initial U(VI) ion concentration. The U(VI) ion uptake by MOCS increased with initial U(VI) ion concentration and bed height, but decreased as the flow rate increased. …”
