Abstract
In this research, modification for the natural bentonite clay was achieved using thermal activation and iron modification. The ability of different adsorbents (natural bentonite, thermal-activated bentonite and iron-modified bentonite) in removing tetracycline from contaminated water was examined utilizing artificial neural network consisting of three layers and 315 batch experiments. The analysis of sensitivity proved that iron-modified bentonite had more influence in the present sorption process with relative importance of 28.67%. To study equilibrium isotherm and adsorption kinetic, two models were used which were pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic equations, and Freundlich and Langmuir models. The best input for Langmuir model was iron-modified bentonite as well as the equilibrium data of natural bentonite, while thermal-modified bentonite was indicated using the Freundlich model. For the three adsorbents, the adsorption kinetic associated with the pseudo-second-order equation was used.
