(a) Effect of time on the adsorption by the nano@LC/MT nanocomposite at various initial Mn(II) concentrations. (b) Pseudo-first order and (c) pseudo-second order adsorption kinetic curves of the experimental data. (Adsorption experiments-sample dosage, 0.05 g; the mass ratios of nano@LC to MT, 1:1; initial Mn(II) concentrationinitial, 900 mg/L; pH value, 5.8; temperature: 55 °C).
