The effect of incubation time on AFB1 in vitro adsorption for different bentonites
| Binder | Time (hr) | Initial AFB1 concentration (ng mg -1 ) | Adsorbed AFB1 | Adsorption capacity (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common bentonite | 3 | 5.76 | 3.43 ± 0.08 | 59.50 ± 1.80 |
| 6 | 5.76 | 3.43 ± 0.01 | 59.40 ± 0.10 | |
| 9 | 5.76 | 3.05 ± 0.09 | 54.70 ± 1.90 | |
| Acidified bentonite | 3 | 5.76 | 5.34 ± 0.01 | 92.70 ± 0.05 |
| 6 | 5.76 | 5.39 ± 0.06 | 93.10 ± 0.25 | |
| 9 | 5.76 | 5.46 ± 0.07 | 93.70 ± 0.55 |
