Chitosan (Ch), vermiculite (V) and lignin (L) were used as the components of a natural composite adsorbent (Ch-VL) for the removal of the UO22+ ions in aqueous solutions. During the study, we recorded and analyzed the initial UO22+ ion concentration, initial pH, contact time, temperature, and recove...
