Evaluation of Uranium Removal from Aqueous Solution using Orange Peels in the Fixed Bed System

In the present work, removal of uranium (VI) using orange peels studied in a fixed-bed system. The parameters of bed heights, initial concentrations, and flow rates were studied, and comparison between experimental results and Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Adams-Bohart models was carried out. Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models are good agreement with experimental data than the Adams-Bohart model.
