Performance evaluation of surfactant modified kaolin clay in As(III) and As(V) adsorption from groundwater: adsorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics

In this paper surfactant modified kaolin clay for As(III) and As(V) was prepared by intercalating hexadecyltrimethylamonium bromide (HDTMA-Br) cationic surfactant onto the clay interlayers. Batch experiments were used to evaluate the effectiveness of surfactant modified kaolin clay towards As(III) a...
