Removal of Heavy Metal Ions with Clay-Based Sorbent

Abstract

The paper presents research results of heavy metals ions removal from a model multicomponent solution applying a new sorbent obtained on the basis of modified clay and peat of the Samara region. The modification was carried out in a thermal way. The researchers study the new material properties in the range of low concentrations typical for the biologically treated sewage water and wastewater of industrial enterprises. The paper also presents kinetic curves and sorption isotherms for five ions of heavy metals - copper, zinc, manganese, iron and lead.
