Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic and thermodynamic studies of the adsorption of lead (II) ions onto phosphate-modified kaolinite clay.
TL;DR: The positive values of both DeltaH degrees and DeltaS degrees obtained suggest an endothermic reaction and in increase in randomness at the solid-liquid interface during the adsorption of Pb(2+) on phosphate-modified and unmodified adsorbents at equilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solutions onto sodium tetraborate-modified Kaolinite clay: Equilibrium and thermodynamic studies
TL;DR: In this article, the NTB-modified adsorbent presented with broader peaks of inner O and inner Si-O centers, which fit very well with the Langmuir adsorption model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clay-polymer nanocomposites (CPNs): adsorbents of the future for water treatment.
TL;DR: In this article, a review of various CPNs that have been prepared recently and used as adsorbents in the removal of micropollutants (inorganic, organic and biological) from aqueous solutions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equilibrium, kinetic and sorber design studies on the adsorption of Aniline blue dye by sodium tetraborate-modified Kaolinite clay adsorbent.
TL;DR: From the design of a single-batch adsorber it is predicted that the NTB-modified Kaolinite clay adsorbent will require 50% less of the adsorbENT to treat certain volumes of wastewater containing 30 mg/L of Aniline blue dye when it is compared with the unmodified adsorbents.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A comprehensive study was performed on the equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of Pb(II) adsorption by the new activated carbon, and PWAC-2 is a beneficial alternative for utilization in full-scale plants of lead removal from waters and wastewaters.
