Activated carbon was modified by compounding with three different clay minerals (HNTs, MMT, AT) at a 1% mass ratio, aiming to boost the activated carbon's radon adsorption capacity. Dynamic experimental studies were conducted to analyze their adsorption performance. HNTs/AC outperformed AC, with an 81% increase in the radon adsorption coefficient and a remarkable 274% expansion in its micropore specific surface area, indicating a positive correlation with radon adsorption capacity. The dynamic radon adsorption by HNTs/AC composites is primarily driven by physical adsorption, which involves two...
