This review discusses the recent trends in the research over the last 30 years to use clay
minerals in natural and modified forms for removing different toxic organic/inorganic …

Pillared clays are special kinds of modified clays with significant and permanent porosity,
produced by embedding columns or pillars between the layers of clay. However, these …

Two pillared clays are synthesized by intercalation of solutions of aluminium and zirconium
and evaluated as adsorbents for the removal of Orange II and Methylene Blue from aqueous …

The economic value of bioethylene produced from bioethanol dehydration is remarkable
due to its extensive usage in the petrochemical industry. Bioethylene is produced through …

The use of pillared interlayered clays (PILCs) as heterogenous catalysts in wastewater
treatment technologies, particularly advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), is gaining …

The increase in population demands for industrialization and urbanization which led to the
introduction of novel hazardous chemicals in our environment. The most significant parts of …

A ferric smectite clay material was synthesized and further intercalated with Al 2 O 3 pillars
for the first time with the aim of evaluating its ability to be used as heterogeneous catalyst for …

Carbon capture using amine-modified porous sorbents is one of the main proposed
technologies to reduce the CO 2 atmospheric concentration. In this work, a wide series of …

The objective of this study was to transform limonene as an agro-chemical platform for the
production of a wide range of added-value compounds for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and …

Conventional wastewater treatment plants do not currently remove all organic compounds,
including some emerging pollutants. This has prompted several efforts to develop new …
