The sorption of uranium(VI) ions onto PAN loaded PUF has been investigated. Quantitative sorption of uranium(VI) onto PAN loaded PUF was achieved after 30 minutes equilibration time from pH 7 buffer solution. The sorption data followed Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherms. Langmuir parameters  Q  = 45.3 ± 0.2 μmol g −1  and  b  = (76.2 ± 0.2) × 10 3  dm 3  mol −1 , Freundlich constants 1/ n  = 0.21 ± 0.01 and  K  F  = 229 ± 21 μmol g −1  and D–R parameters β = −0.0015 ± 0.00005 kJ 2  mol −2 ,  X  m  = 72.23 ± 3.11 μmol g −1  and  E  = 18.3 ± 0.3 kJ mol -1  have been evaluated. The variation of sorption data with temperature gives Δ H  = 176 ± 5 kJ mol −1 , Δ S  = 626 ± 17 J mol −1  K  −1  and Δ G  = −10.6 ± 0.7 kJ mol −1  at 298 K. The positive value of enthalpy (Δ H ) and negative value of free energy (Δ G ) show endothermic and spontaneous nature of sorption respectively. A number of solvents were tested to elute the uranium-PAN complex from the PAN loaded PUF, only amine solvents and cyclohexanone have the capability to desorb the complex. The sorption mechanism has been discussed.
