Insights Into the Mn(VII) and Cr(VI) Adsorption Mechanisms on Purified Diatomite/MCM-41 Composite: Experimental Study and Statistical Physics Analysis

In this study, a purified diatomite (PD) with a concentration of diatom frustules more than 92% SiO2 was utilized to synthesize a composite of MCM-41 silica under hydrothermal conditions. The as-synthesized PD/MCM-41 composite was characterized and tested as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) an...
