“…Monometal adsorption isotherms were obtained by mixing 0.031 g of clay sample with 25 mL metal solutions containing various concentrations of the studied metals (10,25,50,80,120,150,180, and 220 mg/L for Cu(II) and 3, 5, 7, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 150 mg/L for Ni(II)). The lower concentrations of these solutions are similar to the average Cu(II) and Ni(II) concentrations determined in an Argentinean urban waste leachate [25].…”
