Simultaneous adsorption of Ni(II) and Mn(II) ions from aqueous solution unto a Nigerian kaolinite clay

An unmodified Nigerian kaolinite clay (UAK) was utilized as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Ni(II) and Mn(II) ions from a binary solution of both metal ions. Batch adsorption methodology was used to evaluate the effect of solution pH, initial metal ion concentration, sorbent dose, particle s...
