Adsorption mechanism of bacteria onto a Na-montmorillonite surface with organic and inorganic calcium

The adsorption of bacteria onto the Na-montmorillonite (Na-MMT) was studied as a function of time, bacterial concentration, temperature and pH with the introduction of the organic and inorganic calcium sources. The results indicated that albeit revealing the same adsorption mechanism, the organic calcium (i.e., Ca(CH3COO)2)proposed in this study is more beneficial and environmentally friendly…
