[Display omitted] Batch experiments were conducted to study the Cr(VI) removal by nanoscale zero valent iron and copper intercalated montmorillonite (MMT-nFe0/Cu0) nanocomposite. MMT-nFe0/Cu0 was characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms and XPS. The results demonst...
