The sorption of U(VI) on shale has been experimentally investigated as a function of pH, initial uranium concentration, rock particle size and water–rock ratio. The results showed the sorption equilibrium time was about 10 days, and the adsorption capacity presented a negative relationship with rock particle size and positive correlation with the liquid–solid ratio, also influenced by pH. The sorption process was fitted well with Freundlich isotherm. Experimental column was fully penetrated by tritium at about 230 min with a velocity of 0.13 cm/min while uranium was not penetrated the rock column in 180 days.
