“…Bentonite is widely applied in many fields of adsorption technology including the removal of metals [3,4], phenols [5][6][7], organic molecules [8,9], polymers [10,11], pesticides [12], radionuclides [13], and dyes [14,15]. A composite adsorbent, manganese oxidemodified bentonite (MMB), was proposed and studied in this research.…”
