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, ...

Pyrimethanil (2-aniline-4, 6-dimethylpyrimidine, PRM) is used in fruit packing plants to control fungal infections and diseases. The effluents greatly polluted with this fungicide, as a point source contamination, need to ...

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 ...

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 ...

The importance of fungicides uses to maintain healthy crops and reliable, high-quality yields poses environmental issues due to the water and soil contaminations. The montmorillonite is known as efficient adsorbent for ...

In this work we investigate the microstructure and properties of organo-montmorillonites (OMts) synthesized by intercalation of a Patagonian Mt with different surfactant/CEC ratios (0.5, 1 and 2) of octadecyl trimethylammonium ...

The 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy acid (MCPA) is an herbicide widely used in agriculture, which generates a great concern about contamination of surface water and serious consequences for human health and the environment. In ...
