[Display omitted] •The magnetic bentonite-chitosan beads were synthesized as adsorbent for Cs+ removal.•The porous adsorbent functioned by the synergistic effect of bentonite and chitosan.•Bentonite-chitosan beads capture Cs+ selectively in presence of the co-existing cations.•Adsorbent was recycled...
