Equilibrium and Thermodynamic Studies of Zinc Adsorption on Expanded Vermiculite

Because of industrial growth, large amounts of effluents are generated, which need to be treated. Among the micropollutants usually present in industrial effluents, heavy metals are especially dangerous to aquatic environment because they are bioaccumulated along the food chain. This work aims to st...
