Recovery of Thorium by High-Capacity Biopolymeric Sorbent
Separation Science and Technology, 2013 The potential of prepared alginate biopolymers as a natural, economic, effective, non-toxic biosorbent was investigated for the recovery of thorium ions in this study. The experiments were carried out to study the effects of various physico-chemical parameters on biosorption and desorption of thorium.
