【 摘 要 】

This paper contains the research done concerning natural rubber. This included its origin, economic importance, and how the functional groups in the natural rubber reacted with selected actinides. The selected actinides discussed were Thorium, Uranium and Plutonium. The information was retrieved from different sources including information from laboratory experiments. The results obtained were gathered when conducted under different conditions. The conditions varied based on the temperatures and the pH. The functional groups exhibited different outcomes when reacted with different actinides under different conditions. The functional groups namely amine carboxyl and hydroxyl groups have different efficiency and capacity of adsorption. Besides economic importance, the environmental significance of rubber also has been discussed.
