The increasing levels of boron in aqueous solutions pose significant environmental and health risks, necessitating the development of effective removal methods. This study aims to assess the efficiency of a composite material made from magnesite and bentonite clay for the removal of boron from contaminated water. Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the adsorption capacity of the composite under various conditions concerning pH, contact time, and initial boron concentration. The results indicate that the composite exhibited a high adsorption capacity for boron, significantly reducing its concentration in treated solutions. Optimal conditions were identified, highlighting the efficacy of the magnesite-bentonite composite as a viable option for boron removal in water treatment processes. These findings suggest that the use of naturally abundant materials like magnesite and bentonite can provide cost-effective and sustainable methods for mitigating boron pollution in water sources.
