In Received 26 October 2009 this study, the organo-montmorillonites (organo-Mts) with different amounts and arrangements of hex- Received in revised form 27 November 2009 adecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMAB) were prepared as effective sorbents for PFOS removal Accepted 7 December 2009 from water. Batch sorption experiments including sorption kinetics, sorption isotherm as well as effect Available online 29 December 2009 of solution pH were studied. The Elovich and pseudo-second-order models were selected to fit the kinetic data and the latter described the sorption kinetic better. Sorption isotherms showed that the sorption Keywo
