Water Remediation by Columns Filled with Micelle–Vermiculite Systems

Abstract: The removal of naphthalene from aqueous solutions by filtration using columns filled with sand and natural vermiculite and sand and hydrophobic vermiculite in different proportions of 2%, 5%, and 10% was evaluated. Batch experiments had shown that the removal was higher than 90% when the filled adsorbent was constituted by 10% of hydrophobic vermiculite. When vermiculite was in lower concentration, that is, 2% and 5%, the removal percentage was lower than 74%. The removal of the naphthalene by the column fille… Show more
