Adsorption of Phenol and Chlorophenols by HDTMA Modified Halloysite Nanotubes

Design of Dye Adsorption by Amine Terminated Dendritic Functionalized Halloysite Nanotubes Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM)

adsorption and stabilization of phenol by modified local clay

phenol is a common pollutant that was listed by us environmental protection agency (epa) among the priority pollutants. classical methods employed for phenol removal are either costly or limited to large-scale applications such as biological and thermal decomposition methods. in this study, adsorption of phenol by a type of clay that is extracted from a local soil called khoweldi was investigat...

Cellular interactions of doxorubicin-loaded DNA-modified halloysite nanotubes.

Halloysite nanotube (HNT)-based supramolecular complexes are synthesized and evaluated with respect to their cytotoxicity and effects on cellular structures. As HNTs are water-insoluble, DNA is applied for wrapping the surface of HNTs to enhance their water-dispersibility. To investigate the potential of DNA-wrapped HNTs (HD) as a promising drug delivery carrier, doxorubicin (DOX) is introduced...

Adsorption Isotherm and Kinetics Study: Removal of Phenol Using Adsorption onto Modified Pistacia mutica shells

Background and purpose: Phenol is an aromatic hydrocarbon and one of the banzan derivatives which has a higher dissolution rate in water. Therefore, it must be removed for water pollution prevention. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of Pistaciamuticabio mass as an alternative adsorbent for phenol removal from aqueous solution. Materials and Methods: The effect of variou...

Surface Improvement of Halloysite Nanotubes

A novel development on halloysite-polyvinyl alcohol (HNTs-PVA) nanocomposites has been conducted using malonic acid (MA) by crosslinking PVA and HNTs. PVA-MA crosslinking produces smooth surfaces, which play an important role in enhancing the properties of HNTs-PVA nanocomposite. The crystallographic structures of crosslinked HNTs-PVA show almost no change as depicted by the X-ray diffraction (...
