Modified Compositions of Micelle–Clay and Liposome–Clay Composites for Optimal Removal from Water of Bacteria and Hydrophobic Neutral Chemicals

The efficiency in water treatment by granulated complexes formed from the clay bentonite with (i) micelles of cations octadecyltrimethyl-ammonium (ODTMA) or (ii) liposomes didodecyldimethyl-ammonium (DDAB) was investigated. bentonite–ODTMA were synthesized three variations: I. mass ratio 68/32, which resulted an excess positive charge half cation exchange capacity and is denoted “ordinary”; II. having higher loads ODTMA, “enriched”; III. “neutral”. These variations designed to optimize reduce costs treatment. “Ordinary” “neutral” DDAB also synthesized. “ordinary” complex ODTMA shown be efficient removal anionic/hydrophobic molecules bacteria. “enriched” more active bacteria filtration due release free cations, causes biostatic/biocidal effects. corresponding yielded same neutral hydrophobic herbicides, S-metolachlor alachlor (ii), respectively. Model calculations, considered sorption/desorption convection simulations predictions results herbicides. are advantageous since their production saves about 1/3 amount DDAB, constitutes expensive component respective composite.
