Bentonite surface modification and characterization for high selective phosphate adsorption from aqueous media and its application for wastewater treatments

Raw and modified bentonite has been used to develop effective sorbents to remove phosphate from aqueous solution. Acid thermoactivation, Rewoquate, Irasoft, calcium, Fe and Al were employed to treat the bentonite. Results show that samples adsorption capacity for phosphate is in the order of, unmodi...
