Chromium and nickel metal ions removal from contaminated water using Nigerian bentonite clay

In this work, bentonite clay was characterized and investigated for the adsorption of chromium and nickel metal ions from aqueous solution. The clay, calcined at 650 °C, was characterized for physical, chemical and textural properties. Nickel sulphate hexahydrate (NiSO4.6H2O) and chromium tri oxide...
