Removal of a Basic Dye from Aqueous Solution by a Natural Kaolinitic Clay — Adsorption and Kinetic Studies

The < 25 μm fraction of natural clay containing kaolinite, chlorite, illite and illite/smectite mixed layered clay minerals was characterized and used as a potential adsorbent for the removal of Rhodamine B (RB) dye from aqueous solution. Adsorption experiments were carried out in batch mode by v...
