Epoxy-activated chitin was synthesized by the reaction of epichlorohydrin with chitin which was isolated from waste marine sources such as crab shell. Followed by the reaction of epoxy-activated chitin with hexamethylenediamine, the aminohexyl chitin was synthesized. The aminohexyl chitin was subsequently reacted with epichlorohydrin to prepare the epoxy-activated aminohexyl chitin. Finally, the tannin-immobilized chitin (Resin I) was synthsized by the reaction of tannin solution with epoxy-activated aminohexyl chitin. Using silane coupling agent, the tannin-immobilized chitosan(Resin II) was synthesized by the reaction of $\gamma$-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxy silane with chitosan which was prepared by the deacetylation of chitin. Upon the pH variation, adsorptivities of these immobilized tannins to the metal ions such as $Cu^{+2}$, $Ni^{+2}$, $Cr^{+6}$, $Co^{+2}$, $Ca^{+2}$, $Pb^{+2}$, $Ba^{+2}$, and $UO_2{^{+2}}$ ions were determined by batch method. The adsorptivity tendencies of these immobilized tannin to the most of metallic ions were increased with pH. Furthermore, the adsorptivities of Resin(I) and Resin(II) upon the variation of pH, contact time, amount of resin and concentration of metal ion were investigated. As a result, it was found that these immobilized tannin on both chitin and chitosan showed good adsorptivities for uranyl ion.
