Novel organo-clays functionalized with gemini surfactants are one of the most prevalent
adsorbents covering a vast range of organic pollutants. The adsorption performances …

The vermiculite (VMT), as a natural hydrate mineral, is one of the most competitive
candidates of two dimensional (2D) mateirals in various areas including waste water …

Abstract Arsenate (As (V)) removal ability by nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is
compromised by aggregation of nZVI particles. In this work, pine derived biochar (PB) was …

In this work hydrothermally prepared magnetic iron oxide coated biochar nanocomposite (Fe
3 O 4-BC), from raw avocado peel (raw AVP) and ferric chloride hexahydrate, effectively …

Water-stable and active metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are important materials for
mitigation of water contaminants via adsorption and catalytic reactions. In this study, a highly …

Abstract Organo-vermiculites (organo-Vts) were prepared by intercalation of four designed
gemini surfactants (BDIN, BDHP, BDPD, BDPB) with different functional groups (imino …

Clay minerals (vermiculite, montmorillonite and silica nanosheets) with diminishing layer
charge were modified by a novel Gemini surfactant, 2, 2′-bis (dodecyldimethylammonio) …

In the present study, the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) onto surfactant modified chitosan
clinoptilolite composite (SMCSCL) from aqueous solution was investigated in batch and …

Microporous silica (MS) materials are a kind of an emerging and promising adsorbent
precursor. MS prepared from vermiculite has the advantages of easy preparation, low cost …

Vermiculite undergoes significant changes in mineralogical characteristics upon chemical
(with H 2 O 2) and thermal (roasting) expansions, resulting in a marked impact on its …
