Abstract:Glyphosate removal from contaminated water by natural clay, natural zeolite, commercial kaolin, bentonite, and sepiolite was compared. Natural clay showed high removal efficiency next to purified kaolin. The adsorption data for natural clay better fitted the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorbent dose was found to be the most important process parameter while the pH did not exhibit any significant effect. An optimization study allowed achieving the highest removal efficien… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
