Özet:

 

The adsorption of formaldehyde on bentonite and kaolin was  studied in batch mode.  Parameters like adsorbent dose, pH, contact  time and agitation speed were investigated.  Langmuir, Freundlich and  Temkin isotherms were employed for describing adsorption equilibrium.  The maximum amounts of formaldehyde adsorbed (qmax), as evaluated  by Langmuir isotherm, were 3.41 and 5.03 milligrams per gram of ground  kaolin and bentonite, respectively.  The study results led to the  conclusion that kaolin and bentonite, vastly available inorganic  clays, have good potential as adsorbents to remove toxic organic  pollutants such as formaldehyde from water.
