Transmission and reflection FTIR techniques were used to distinguish between different
types of clay minerals and to derive information concerning their structure, composition and …

Water-based drilling fluids are increasingly being used for oil and gas exploration, and are
generally considered to be more environmentally acceptable than oil-based or synthetic …

Eco-friendly adsorbent of chitosan–montmorillonite/polyaniline (CH–Mt/PANI)
nanocomposite was synthesized by the intercalation of CH into Mt through ion-exchange …

In this study, FeMg-LDH loaded with bentonite (FeMg-LDH@ bentonite) was prepared using
the facile co-precipitating method in situ to remove heavy metals from water and then …

In this contribution, poly (maleic acid)-grafted cross-linked chitosan/montmorillonite
composite nanospheres (PMAL-CTS/MMT) were synthesized via a facile approach for …

Adsorption of Cu (II) by raw bentonite (RB) and acid-activated bentonite (AAB) samples was
investigated as a function of the initial Cu (II) concentration, solution pH, ionic strenght …

Abstract Hydrogen (H 2), an energy carrier, is among the advanced energy technologies. In
the study, a hybrid metal-free catalyst was provided by protonation of chitosan dispersed on …

In this paper, FTIR spectroscopy using attenuated total reflection (ATR) and KBr pressed

This paper presents the adsorption of Pb (II) from aqua solutions onto Unye (Turkey)
bentonite in raw (RB), acid activated (AAB) and manganese oxide-coated (MCB) forms …

The stability of bentonite is of particular interest for containment barriers in nuclear waste
disposal facilities. However, very little is known about the stability of montmorillonite (the …
