Abstract: In this work, a composite sorbent based on hydrous zirconium oxide was used for selective removal of Ge(IV) oxoanions. Experiments were carried out by batch equilibrium tests and dynamic column sorption. The best sorption capacity was reached at the pH of 9, when about 4.3 g of Ge by liter of composite. The negative effect of the concentration of chlorides and sulfates was observed when their concentration was higher than 500 mg/L. The optimal specific solution flow rate for sorption by ZrO2-PAN sorbent was determined to be 6 BV/h. For regeneration, 15 BV of 0.5 M HCl solution saturated with NaCl was used.
