Characterization, isotherm and kinetic studies for ammonium ion adsorption by light expanded clay aggregate (LECA)

The possibility of ammonium ion removal from aqueous solution using light expanded clay aggregate (LECA) was investigated in this work. FESEM and XRF analyses are used to determine the sorbent characterization. The influences of some effective parameters on ammonium ion adsorption process such as in...
