摘要

This study reports the synthesis of titanium dioxide (TiO2) incorporated hydroxyapatite (HAp) composites (HAp@TiO2) for uranium (U(VI)) removal from aqueous solution. The nanocomposite exhibited dandelion flower-like morphology with enhanced surface area. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to study the influence of pH, contact time, initial uranium concentration, and temperature on U(VI) adsorption. It exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 231.48 mg g−1, and equilibrium was achieved within 55 min. Adsorption of U(VI) on HAp@TiO2 occurs via ion exchange, surface complexation and electrostatic interaction with Ca2+, OH and PO43− groups. These results demonstrate HAp@TiO2 as a promising adsorbent for U(VI) contaminated wastewater.
