They were used for the removal of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), phenanthrene (PHE) and copper ions (Cu²⁺) both in single (S) and binary (B) contaminant conditions in simulated and real wastewater. The IB showed a large affinity for Cu²⁺ in both single (q_max: 43.43 mg/L) and binary (q_max: 43.95 mg/L) systems. Adsorption of PFOS and PHE was dramatically enhanced by the functionalized clays IBA (K_{F (PFOS)}: 11.1 and K_{F (PHE)}: 9.65 mg ^(1-n) Lⁿ g⁻¹) and IBAP (K_{F (PFOS)}): 10.2 and K_{F (PHE)}: 16.68 mg ^(1-n) Lⁿ g⁻¹). The co-occurrence of PFOS or PHE with Cu²⁺ enhanced their adsorption onto clays indicating that Cu²⁺ can form bridges between clays and PFOS or PHE in different mechanism to increase adsorption of PFOS or PHE in binary solutions. The surface-tailored organoclay IBAP showed great potential for the complete removal of PFOS, PHE and 86.6% of Cu²⁺ from real wastewater, which is usually considered challenging.]]> Tue 09 Aug 2022 14:29:54 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25140 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:17:12 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51710 Fri 15 Sep 2023 14:16:08 AEST ]]>
