The reduction of CO2 by photocatalysts is one of the most promising methods since CO2 can be reduced to useful compounds by irradiating it with UV light at room temperature and ambient pressure. The aim of this work was to assess the effect of a reaction media on CO2 photocatalytic reduction yields over ZnS nanoparticles deposited on montmorillonite (ZnS-MMT). Four different reaction media, suc...

in recent years many research works have been carried out on anti-corrosive nanocomposites coatings containing mineral reinforcements. the most important criteria in these attempts are polymerization method and the type of matrix and reinforcement of nanocomposites. in this regard, the physical and mechanical properties of the polymers in which a small amount of filler is used can be improved. ...

This work reports the behavior of montmorillonite–magnetite mixtures varying composition in aqueous dispersions and evaluates their adsorbing properties using a cationic organic pollutant, methylene blue (MB+), an anionic inorganic arsenate (As(V)), as species. The effects presence montmorillonite on As(V) adsorption by magnetite MB+ clay were specially addressed. simple mixture dispersion with...

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...

Montmorillonite impregnated with bismuth nitrate has been found to be an excellent reagent for the synthesis of several nitro compounds of biological significance in high yield.

A mild and efficient catalytic method for synthesis of 5-alkoxycarbonyl-4-aryl-3, 4dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones using KSF montmorillonite as catalyst is described.
