Adsorption isotherm studies of Cs from aqueous solution are described. Elemental Composition, chemical solubility, ion-exchange capacity (IEC) and pH titra- tion are studied. Distribution coefficients (Kd) for ten metal ions have been determined. It was found that the polyaniline + + titanotungstate has high affinity and high selectivity for Cs . The material was high separation of Cs from other metal ions. The adsorbent capacity was determined using the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models. The Cs+ adsorption isotherm data fit best to the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum Cs+ uptake of polyaniline titanotung- st
