Synthesis and Micromechanistic Studies of Sensitized Bentonite for Methyl Orange and Rhodamine-B Adsorption from Wastewater: Experimental and DFT-Based Analysis

This work reports the formation of a novel adsorbent, prepared by activating bentonite with cinnamic acid, which is highly efficient to remove dyes from wastewater. The adsorption efficiency of the cinnamic acid activated bentonite was compared with unmodified bentonite by removing methyl orange and...
