The adsorption behavior of aluminium ions on chamotte clay has been studied in this study. Chamotte clay has been used for the first time for determination of trace levels of aluminium in aqueous solutions. Quantitative adsorption and recovery of aluminium were both rapid and reached an equilibrium in 30 minutes. Aluminium was detected based on the formation of the highly fluorescent Al(III)-morin complex. Two linear calibration graphs were obtained in the range of 0.5-10 µg L-1 and 10-100 µg L-1 with the detection limits of 0.12 µg L-1 and 1.12 µg L-1, respectively. Chamotte clay was characterized by scanning electron microscope coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. Different isotherm models were evaluated and the results showed that the adsorption study was fitted to Freundlich isotherm and a favorable and multilayer adsorption of aluminium was occurred on the heterogeneous surface of the chamotte clay. Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of aluminium adsorption were also investigated. Various experimental parameters were optimized and the method has been applied to tap and bottled drinking water samples and quantitative recoveries were obtained. The results demonstrated that the chamotte clay, as a natural clay, was expected to be a promising adsorbent for the determination and preconcentration of the trace levels of analyte in real samples.
