This study is based on U(VI) removal from wastewater by KMnO₄-modified hazelnut shell activated carbon (KM–HSAC) using adsorption technology. A characterisation study of KM–HSAC was conducted through scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The rough surface of KM–HSAC contains many irregular microspores. The EDS pattern confirmed the U(VI) adsorption on the KM–HSAC. A batch study experiment gave optimum results for U(VI) at pH 6, contact time of 160 min, initial U(VI) concentration of 155.56 mg/L and KM–HSAC dosage of 4 g/L, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 22.27 mg/g. The prediction performance of artificial neural network models was validated through the low values of statistical error (2.708 and 8.241 for RMSE of training and testing data, respectively) and the high determination coefficient value (0.987 and 0.906 for training and testing data, respectively). Experimental results suggest that KM–HSAC has a high potential for the removal of U(VI) from wastewater.
