Abstract

The Cu3(BTC)2(BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) was synthesized by water/solvent heat method. The Cu3(BTC)2 was characterized by SEM/EDS, Zeta potential and XRD. Batch static adsorption experiments investigated the various factors affecting the adsorption of Th(IV) in aqueous solution such as pH, solid–liquid ratio, contact time, initial concentration and temperature, and the adsorption mechanism is also discussed. The adsorption process was in line with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. At the same time, compared with other adsorbents. The results showed that Cu3(BTC)2 had good adsorption for Th(IV) with a maximum adsorption of 757.58 mg g−1.
