Abstract : Gum Kondagogu- nano-composite (KG-NC) has been efficiently used for removal of Uranium (VI) ions from aqueous solution. Different optimized conditions such as pH, U (VI) concentration, contact time and GK-NC concentration were determined. The amount of U (VI) adsorbed onto the KG-NC was found to be 193.3 ± 8.87 mg of uranium g-1 of nano-composite at pH 5.0 and 25°C. The results of the present study suggested that KG-NC could be suitable as green bio-adsorbent for removal of uranium ions from dilute aqueous solutions.
