The influences of medium pH sorption temperature, sorption time, etc. on thesorption capacity of macroporous Phosphonic acid resin for La3+ were determined Thesorption rate constant was k298 = 7.64×10-5 s-1. The complex ratio of phosphonicgroups of the resin to La3+ was 3:1. The basic sorption parameters were determinedThe sorption mechanism of macroporous phosphonic acid resin for La3+ was examinedby chemical analysis and IR- spectrometry.
