Experimental Study of the Adsorption of Nitrogen and Phosphorus by Natural Clay Minerals

Nitrogen and phosphorus are commonly recognized as causing eutrophication in aquatic systems, and their transport in subsurface environments has also aroused great public attention. This research presented four natural clay minerals (NCMs) evaluated for their effectiveness of NH4+ and PO43- adsorpti...
