“…Adsorption is the accumulation of one or more parts in an interfacial layer, and it may occur by chemisorption or physisorption 14,15 . Various materials are used as adsorbents, e.g., chitosan 16,17 , chitin 18 , soybean oil 19 , material based on cyclodextrin 20 , agricultural wastes 21,22 , cellulose 23,24 , and clay minerals 25,26,27 , among others. Among these materials, clay minerals are very interesting solids because they are natural, abundant, easily extractable, usually nontoxic, and relatively inexpensive.…”
