The removal of tannin from aqueous media by cationic surfactant-modified bentonite clay was studied in a batch system. The surfactant used was hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride. Adsorbent characterizations were investigated using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, surface area analysis, and potentiometric titration. The effects of pH, contact time, initial solute concentration, adsorbent dose, ionic strength, and temperature on the adsorption of tannin onto modified clay were investigated. The adsorbent exhibited higher tannin removal efficiency JJGB8J-2&_mathId=mml14&_user=10&_cdi=6857&_rdoc=16&_handle=V-WA-A-W-CD-MsSAYWW-UUA-U-AACVDZWEWD-AACWBVBDWD-EYWCBECUE-CD-U&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_userid=10&md5=33822ff0b7ea744ce07882dbe3f86ca8"" title=""Click to view the MathML source"">(>99.0 % ) from an initial concentration of 10.0 μmol/L at pH 3.0. Adsorption capacity decreased from 90.1 to 51.8 % with an increase in temperature from 10 to 40 °C at an initial concentration of 25.0 μmol/L. The adsorption process was found to follow pseudo-first-order kinetics. Film diffusion was found to be the rate-limiting step. Tannin adsorption was found to decrease with increase in ionic strength. The tannin equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, the former being found to provide the best fit of the experimental data. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity for tannin was 69.80 μmol/g at 30 °C. Comparison of adsorption capacity of the modified clay with reported adsorbents in the literature was also presented. Adsorbed tannin on modified clay can be recovered by treatment with 0.1 M NaOH solution. Regeneration experiments were tried for four cycles and results indicate a capacity loss of w the MathML source""><10.0 % . From the results it can be concluded that the surfactant-modified clay could be a good adsorbent for treating tannin-contaminated waters.
