Vermiculite Modified with Fe<sup>3+</sup> Polyhydroxy Cations Is a Low-Cost and Highly Available Adsorbent for the Removal of Phosphate Ions

Vermiculite Modified with Fe<sup>3+</sup> Polyhydroxy Cations Is a Low-Cost and Highly Available Adsorbent for the Removal of Phosphate Ions

This paper demonstrates that intercalating Na<sup>+</sup> homoionic vermiculite with Fe<sup>3+</sup> polyhydroxy cations (1:1 molar ratio OH<sup>−</sup> to Fe<sup>3+</sup>) significantly improved the affinity of the clay mineral-based sorbent toward ph...
