Uranium-containing aqueous wastes have been treated by electrosorption on a carbon electrode composed of activated carbon fibers(ACFs) in a continuous flow-through cell. Effective uranium (VI) removal is accomplished when a negative potential in the range of -0.3 to -0.9V (vs. Ag/AgCI) is applied to the carbon electrode. For a feed concentration of 350mg/l, the concentration of U(VI) in the cell effluent is reduced to less than lmg/l. Electrosorption capacity over 552 mg_uranium/g_ACF is reached.
