摘要：
High prevalence of uranium in groundwater may pose radio and chemical toxicity and causes severe health hazards which require efficient methods for its extraction. In the present study, crystalline WS2 nanosheets were synthesized, characterized and investigated systematically to obtain optimized adsorption parameters: pH (6.0), adsorbent dose (0.6 g/L) and time (30 min). The adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic with maximum adsorption capacity of 22.35 mg/g. WS2 nanosheets were successfully applied as an efficient adsorbent for treatment of uranium prevalent groundwater samples from Faridkot district of SW-Punjab, India.
