As a natural adsorbent material, bentonite is widely used in the field of heavy metal adsorption. The heavy metal adsorption capacity of bentonite varies significantly in studies due to the differences in the properties of bentonite, solution, and heavy metal. To achieve accurate predictions of bentonite's heavy metal adsorption capacity, this study employed six machine learning (ML) regression algorithms to investigate the adsorption characteristics of bentonite. Finally, an eXtreme Gradient Boosting Regression (XGB) model with outstanding predictive performance was constructed...
