Removal of cobalt(II) from aqueous solution by local Saudi bentonite: Kinetic and equilibrium investigations

Abstract: Natural bentonite clay from Saudi Arabia was used to remove cobalt from aqueous solution. The clay samples were first characterized for their chemical composition and structure. Batch sorption studies were then conducted to assess their capacity to remove cobalt. The effect of contact time, initial analyte concentration, bentonite dose and temperature on the adsorption was investigated. The results showed that equilibrium was attained in 60 minutes. The metal adsorption was fitted to a Langmuir isotherm model … Show more

“…It is well-accepted that adsorption is the wide-used Co(II) ions removal method due to the advantages of low cost, high flexibility, and easy operation [14]. However, most traditional adsorbents, such as active carbon [15], diatomite [16], and clay [17], often suffer from the low adsorption ability towards Co(II) ions. us, developing novel Co(II) adsorbents with high performance is still a big challenge.…”
