Different montmorillonites were added to poly(vinyl alcohol) in order to improve their properties. The used montmorillonite’s were: Cloisite Naþ (Na), Nanofil (NF), and Cloisite 30B (30B). Poly(vinyl alcohol) þ montmorillonite ...

This study is a preliminary approach to develop novel montmorillonite (Mt) based adsorbents for removing inorganic and organic contaminants in a step-like process. Biomass (fungi) and surfactant (octadecyltrimethylammonium ...

Montmorillonite magnetic-clay nanoparticles (MtMag) and its exchanged product with hexadecyltrimethylammonium (O100MtMag) were synthetized by alkaline oxidation of ferrous sulfate, characterized by diverse techniques (XRD, ...

Magnetic-clay (MtMag) and magnetic-organoclay (O100MtMag) nanocomposites were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for arsenic adsorption. Batch arsenic adsorption experiments were performed varying pH conditions and ...

Beads of alginate montmorillonite have been used for the first time as sorbent of the cationic pesticide paraquat (PQ). They are a green material because they are formed by a biopolymer and a clay mineral, and because they ...
