Efficient removal of Pb(II) and Zn(II) ions from aqueous solutions by adsorption onto a native natural bentonite

The new Native Natural Bentonite (NNB) for adsorption of Pb(II) and Zn(II) ions from aqueous environments was investigated at 27 ± 10C by in batch laboratory experiments. Chemical and mineralogical structure of the NNB adsorbent was characterized by XRF and cation exchange capacity (CEC). The effect...
