Biosorption is an effective and economic method to treat wastewater containing low concentrations of uranium pollutants. In this study, banyan leaves (BLs) were used as a biosorbent to adsorb uranium ions. The biosorption behavior, thermodynamics, and kinetics of this adsorption process, as well as its mechanism, were investigated. The results indicated that the optimal adsorption effect was achieved when the initial pH was 3.0, the initial uranium concentration was 100 mg L-1, the absorbent dosage was 5 g L -1, and the temperature was chosen to be 293 K. The biosorption rate could be describe...
