Phenol Red Adsorption from Aqueous Solution on the Modified Bentonite by Nguyen Le My Linh, Tran Duong, Hoang Van Duc, Nguyen Thi Anh Thu, Pham Khac Lieu, Nguyen Van Hung, Le Thi Hoa, Dinh Quang Khieu

“…The highest monolayer adsorption capacity of phenol red at 30°C derived from the Langmuir equation was 166.7 mg·g−1, 125.0 mg·g−1, and 100.0 mg·g−1 for CTAB‒bentonite, Al‒CTAB‒bentonite, and Fe‒CTAB‒bentonite, respectively. Different thermodynamic parameters were calculated, and it was concluded that the adsorption was spontaneous (∆G° < 0) and endothermic (∆H° > 0), with increased entropy (∆S° > 0) in all the investigated temperature ranges.…”
