Uranium sorption from freshwater by thin-layer sorbents, viz., iron, manganese, and titanium hydroxides, has been studied under dynamic conditions. Titanium hydroxide has been found to be the most effective sorbent for uranium concentration. Uranium can be desorbed from thin-layer titanium hydroxide with five column volumes of 0.1 M HCl. From freshwater uranium is sorbed by thin-layer titanium hydroxide in the mixed diffusion region. Higher solution temperature accelerates sorption, which indicates that chemical interaction plays a notable part.
