Potential of using kaolin as a natural adsorbent for the …
The cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the clay is between 8.50 and 12.15 meq/100 g (Table 1) and could be attributed to the presence of inorganic/organic matter; thus, making the beneficiated kaolin play an important role in the adsorption of heavy metal ions. The Electrical Conductivity (EC) of the beneficiated clay is higher than that of the ...
