ABSTRACT
Adsorption of manganese (II) ions by natural clay was studied by the batch mode technique. The influence of pH, particle size,contact time, initial concentration of the adsorbate and temperature were experimentally verified. The results revealed that the adsorption of manganese (II) by natural clay is exothermic and also proved that the natural clay is effective in adsorption./ion exchange process.
Keywords: Pond clay, adsorption, parameters, isotherm modeling.
