Abstract

Cobalt ferrite hollow spheres were prepared by a simple solvothermal method. The obtained CoFe2O4 was applied as magnetic adsorbent for the extraction of uranium(VI) ions from aqueous solutions. The maximum adsorption capacity was observed at pH 6.00. Maximum removal of 96.8% was observed for an initial concentration of 50mg/L at pH 6.00 and an adsorbent dose of 0.05g, displaying a high efficiency for the removal of uranium(VI) from aqueous solution. Equilibrium was achieved in approximately 180min. The results indicate that CoFe2O4 has potential as an adsorbent for sorption uranium(VI), using a simple, fast separation method for removal of uranium(VI) ions from aqueous solution.
