Improvement of montmorillonite adsorption capacity for lead ions by modifying with hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride: Characterization, modelling and optimization studies

Heavy metal pollutants, particularly Pb are considered as critical contaminants causing harmful health risks for a human. In this study, montmorillonite modified with hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride surfactant (N-HTAC) was applied as a new adsorbent for the Pb+2 adsorption from aqueous solutio...
