Mechanism on the sorption of heavy metals from binary-solution by a low cost montmorillonite and its desorption potential

The potential of a low-cost Nigerian montmorillonite for the adsorption of Ni(II) and Mn(II) ions from aqueous solution was investigated by batch mode. XRD, SEM and BET analysis were used to characterize the adsorbent. The experiments were performed as a function of pH, particle size, adsorbent dose...
