In some cases, emergency intervention is necessary due to the amount of radioactivity or the physical and/or chemical conditions. . The purpose of this study is to investigate the adsorption properties of nano Ca3Y2B4O12 (CYBO) material synthesized by the sol-gel combustion method for the adsorption of Thorium (IV) from an aqueous medium. We tested how pH (3???8), the concentration of Th (IV) (25???125 mg/L), amount of adsorbent value (0.005???0.08 g) and temperature (20???60 ???C), affect adsorption efficiency. The best possible combinations of these parameters were examined by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). R2 values for RSM and ANN were 0.9964 and 0.9666, respectively. According to the models, the adsorption capacity under the optimum conditions determined for the RSM and ANN model was found to be 134.62 mg/g and 125.12 mg/g, respectively.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAdsorptionThorium (IV)Nano CYBOModellingOptimizationAqueous-SolutionUranium ViRemovalOptimizationSorptionNanomaterialsCarbonTh(Iv)RsmNanocompositeArticle10.1016/j.apradiso.2022.110606192Q2WOS:0009040001000112-s2.0-8514435100136549178Q3
