nano zno/ montmorillonite composite were prepared by sol gel method under ultrasonic irradiation from directly mixing montmorillonite nano clay into zinc gel. the zn(ch3coo)2.2h2o and montmorillonite nano clay was used as precursor. the zinc acetate was dissolved in di water and, nh3 (aq) solution was dropped into the zinc solution until ph 9 consequently the zinc gel was produced. the montmori...

Chemical activity diagraoas , prepared to illustrate the properties expected if mixed-layer montmorillonite/illite is regarded as a solid solution, are compared to those derived from a treatment of these materials as a mixture of two phases. If the system is a solid solution, the coexisting aqueous solution should range from higher dissolved silica contents in the presence of kaolinite and a mo...

Perovskite LaFeO3/montmorillonite nanocomposites (LaFeO3/MMT) have been successfully prepared via assembling LaFeO3 nanoparticles on the surface of montmorillonite with citric acid assisted sol-gel method. The results indicated that the uniform LaFeO3 nanoparticles were densely deposited onto the surface of montmorillonite, mainly ranging in diameter from 10 nm to 15 nm. The photocatalytic acti...

Montmorillonite K-10 functionalized with α-nucleophilic 2-pralidoxime (PAM) and its zwitterionic oximate form (PAMNa) is introduced as a versatile material for chemical protection against organophosphorous (OP) compounds such as pesticides and chemical warfare agents (CWA). Upon inclusion into the montmorillonite interlayer structure, the pyridinium group of PAMNa is strongly physisorbed onto a...

The effect of pH on the flocculation, settling rate, and gel volume of pyrophyllite in dilute suspension was studied in solutions of various NaNO3 concentrations to evaluate the role of the edge surfaces in particle-particle interaction. The critical flocculation concentration (CFC) increased with increasing pH, being 1.6 x 10~, 4 x 10", 1.5 x 10-, 9.5 x 10-, 1.6 x ID", and 0.1 moU L-' at pH 3....

A pilot-scale study was initiated to examine the behavior of viruses pulse injected into a distribution system. The influence of a free-chlorine residual and that of virus preadsorption to clay particles was evaluated by tracing the viruses both in the water flow and after elution from the biofilm. These experiments demonstrated, first, that virus preadsorption on 40 mg of Na-montmorillonite pe...

Molecular dynamic simulations of polyacrylic acid polyelectrolyte (PAA) analyzed its interaction with the main minerals that make up characteristic tailings mining industry, in this case, quartz, kaolinite, and montmorillonite. The were carried out package Gromacs 2020.3. potentials used General AMBER Force Field (GAFF) for PAA CLAYFF-MOH mineral surfaces. SPC/E model described water molecules ...
