Résumé

Clays present a cost effective and sustainable method for removing uranium and heavy metals from drinking water because of their cation exchange capabilities. However, managing muddy suspensions is problematic; therefore, clay pellets as presented in this article are a promising alternative. Three standard clays and two regional clays were evaluated for sorption, both in powder form and in pellet structure for comparison. The objective was to evaluate individual sorption processes and assess the effect on uranium sorption due to the process of altering the clay powder to produce pellets. The sorption capacity of the pellets is sufficiently large to not only sorb the intrinsic non-bonded uranium but to continue to sorb uranium from contaminated water. Furthermore, the uranyl cation was also removed preferentially in the presence of Pb
