The characterization studies illustrated that the intercalation of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) was successful. The modification improved the pore structure and the granular SA\/organically modified bentonite composite (GOMBt) exhibited a lamellar structure with some roughness. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms indicated that adsorption of NOR on GOMBt was an endothermic process. The effects of various factors on the adsorption of NOR suggested that the maximum adsorption capacity was obtained under acidic conditions and cations improved the adsorption process. A fixed-bed column was employed to investigate the dynamic adsorption characteristics of NOR by GOMBt. The breakthrough time and bed height had a positive correlation; however, the relation of flow rate, pH, and breakthrough time had a negative correlation. The results showed that the dynamic adsorption data of NOR on GOMBt fitted Thomas and Yoon\u2013Nelson models. The internal and external diffusion in GOMBt dynamic adsorption was not a rate-limiting step.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym14193984","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]],"date-time":"2022-09-26T03:34:17Z","timestamp":1664163257000},"page":"3984","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Sodium Alginate\/Modified Bentonite Composite Bead Adsorptive Removal of Norfloxacin: Static and Dynamic Adsorption"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6302-0725","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Urban Construction, Nanjing Tech University, Nanjing 211816, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qianyu","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Urban Construction, Nanjing Tech University, Nanjing 211816, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115921","DOI":"10.1016\/j.trac.2020.115921","article-title":"Occurrence, sources and conventional treatment techniques for various antibiotics present in hospital wastewaters: A critical review","volume":"129","author":"Khan","year":"2020","journal-title":"TrAC Trends Anal.
