Özet: Bu çalışmada, Th(IV) adsorpsiyonu için ekonomik ve bol miktarda bulunan alkali bazaltik yapıdaki Kula volkanitinin DEEA organik katyonu ile modifiye edilip adsorpsiyon kapasitesinin artırılarak kullanılması amaçlanmıştır. Öncelikle hazırlanan DEEA-volkanitin XRF, FT-IR, SEM ve BET yüzey alanı gibi yapısal karakteristik özellikleri incelendi, daha sonra sulu çözeltilerden Th(IV) adsorpsiyonu endüstriyel araştırmalarda geniş bir kullanıma sahip yanıt yüzey metodu ( Abstract: In this study, the use of Kula volcanic in the alkaline basaltic structure, economical and abundant for Th (IV) adsorption, which is modified with the DEEA organic cation and increased of its adsorption capacity was investigated. Firstly, structural characteristics such as XRF, FT-IR, SEM and BET surface area of prepared DEEA-volcanic were investigated. Then, Th (IV) adsorption from aqueous solutions was optimized with a wide range of the response surface methods (RSM) in industrial investigations. Effective experimental conditions on adsorption efficiency: pH (3-8), Th (IV) concentration (20-100 mg / L), temperature (20-60 °C) and time (15-120 minutes) were selected. The best possible combinations of these parameters were obtained by the response surface method (RSM). Central composite design (CCD) was chosen for the design of experimental conditions. According to the RSM data, it is seen that the model is the second-order (quadratic) and R 2 and R 2 adj values from the parameters which are shown model fitting are 0.99 and 0.99, respectively. The adsorption capacity for DEEA-Volcanite at optimum conditions was found to be 38.94 mg/g. In addition, this work, Th (IV) adsorption was investigated the suitability to the isotherms and thermodynamic parameters were calculated.
