This study focused on some pollutants, were detected in rivers, lakes, and soil. Polycation–clay mineral nanocomposites were characterized and designed for the removal of
these pollutants. The adsorption kinetics of polyacrylic on montmorillonite (MMT) was studied. Consequently, polycation–MMT composites were chosen to test pollutant adsorption. The results of this study emphasize the importance of better understanding pollutant–adsorbent interactions to enable more efficient tailoring of polymer–clay mineral composites for water and soil treatment.
