- Abstract
The article presents a study conducted to evaluate the suitability of four sorbents— an organoclay, an organoclay/anthracite blend, a zeolite, and hydroxyapatite— for the removal of heavy metals from water. Four sorbents were evaluated in this study: an organoclay, an organoclay/anthracite blend, clinoptilolite and hydroxy-apatite. All sorbents were obtained from Biomin Inc. in Ferndale, Michigan. The organoclay was exchanged with ditallowdihydrogenated-ainmonium chloride at 40% of the cation-exchange capacity of the base bentonite. The tallow functional group represents a 16-18 carbon heterogeneous chain. The organoclay/anthracite blend is a mixture of 70% anthracite and 30% organoclay.
