Studies have been made on the extraction of U (VI) from sea water by the adsorption on the gel particles containing titanium hydroxide. The adsorbents were prepared with acrylamide, N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide and titanium hydroxide. Uranium (VI) was able to be desorbed from the adsorbent with 1 M sodium carbonate or 1 M ammonium carbonate solution. The following various factors affecting the extraction of U (VI) were studied; the amount of adsorbent, the effect of temperature on the adsorption, the stirring time, the recycle usage of the adsorbent,
etc. It was found that the adsorption of U (VI) tended to rise with the increase of shaking time, though it was not affected by temperature. When 25g of adsorbent was added to 40
l of natural sea water, 84 μg of U (VI) was able to be extracted by slow stirring for 24 hr. It seems that the proposed method having the better selectivity of adsorption and separation is superior to the method using ion exchange resin.
