Adsorption of uranium(VI) from aqueous solutions on natural zeolites, i.e., chabazite, clinoptilolite, erionite and mordenite, was investigated. The influence of time and pH of the solution were studied. The results showed that uranium(VI) species are strongly adsorbed on the zeolites between pH 6 to 9. The amount of uranium adsorption is strongly dependent on pH and, to some extent, on the type of zeolites. For pH {ge} 6 and at 25 C, more than 92% of uranium from solution was removed in 10 minutes. Adsorption mechanism of uranium is discussed.
