Adsorption of ammonium by different natural clay minerals: Characterization, kinetics and adsorption isotherms
TL;DR: In this article, the NH4+ adsorption behavior followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for six natural clay minerals (NCM) evaluated for the effectiveness of NH4+, and the results showed that the NCM have significant potential as economic, safe and effective adsorbent materials for NH4 + adsorbing from the aqueous solution.
