Exploring the Sorption Mechanism of Ni(II) on Illite: Batch Sorption, Modelling, EXAFS and Extraction Investigations

Abstract The sorption mechanism of nickel (Ni) at the illite/water interface was investigated using batch, sorption modelling, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and extraction approaches. The results showed that Ni(II) sorption on illite was strongly dependent on pH, contact time, te...
