Adsorption experiments were conducted using such procedures as the time-dependent （kinetic） procedure and the concentration dependent （isotherm） procedure. Results indicate that the adsorption process is related to the kind of the studied compound. The equilibrium data are well suited to a Freundlich isotherm in the case of both investigated compounds. Adsorption kinetics of chlorpropham and 3-chloroaniline on acid-treated halloysite was successfully described by pseudo-second order kinetic model and the model of Weber and Morris. From the present study, we suggest that the adsorption of chlorpropham and 3-chloroaniline on the modified halloysite is a rather complex process involving two steps： external mass transfer and intra-particle diffusion.展开更多
