Aggrandizement Of Uranium (VI) Removal Performance Of Lentinus Concinnus Biomass By Attachment Of 2,5-Diaminobenzenesulfonic Acid Ligand

Abstract

In this study, the native and 2,5-diaminobenzene sulfonic acid (DABSA) attached Lentinus concinnus biomasses were utilized for removal of U(VI) ions from solutions. At 25 °C, the maximum uranium ion adsorption capacity of the native and DABSA attached fungal biomasses were found to be 118.6 and 539.2 mg/g, respectively, at pH 6.0. The negative ΔG° values of U(VI) removal showed that the adsorption procedure were spontaneous. ATR-FTIR data showed that U(VI) ions adsorption the adsorbents was mainly attributed by amine, carboxyl and sulfate groups. © 2021, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.
