For uranium adsorption in water, a new uranium adsorbent was synthesized by preparing poly(tetraethylenepentamine–trimesoyl chloride). The samples were characterized using SEM, EDS, TGA, FTIR and XPS. The removal ability and adsorption mechanism of uranium (VI) in an aqueous solution by poly(tetraethylenepentamine–trimesoyl chloride) were systematically studied. The results showed that the adsorption equilibrium was completed within 80min, the adsorption capacity reached 189.82mgg−1, and the removal rate reached 94.91%. The adsorption proces...
