Two different composite sorbents of chemically modified dealginaded seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum (DS-2 and DS-3) were used for the selective removal of metal (W, Mo, and V) oxoanions. All experiments were carried out by dynamic column sorption. The effects of the pH, flow rate and the concentration of the accompanying anions in the feed solution were studied. Sorption of tungstate, molybdate and vanadate anions was successful. The composite sorbents exhibited high stability during more than 25 sorption cycles.
