Equilibrium and Kinetic Studies of the Adsorption of Zn(II) Ions onto Natural and Activated Kaolinites

The removal of Zn(II) ions from aqueous solution was studied using natural, thermally-activated and acid-activated kaolinite samples at different temperatures. The linear Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin– Radushkevich (D–R) adsorption equations were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms. The...
