in this study, removal of methylene blue (mb) and maxilon blue sl 200% (mb sl) dyes from aqueous solutions by using raw clay (rc) of nevsehir (turkey) vicinity and ultrasonic-acid modified clay (mc) was investigated. adsorption was carried out with 500 mg/l mb and 50 mg/l for mb sl in terms of different adsorbent dosages, contact time, solution ph, temperature and stirring speed. the fitting of...

polymer-clay nanocomposite coatings have attracted much attention because of impressive enhancements of coating properties. in this research, both commercially available and isophoronediamine-modified montmorillonite clays were used to obtain epoxy-clay nanocomposite coatings. these nanocomposite materials with different clay loadings in the form of coatings were applied to cold-rolled steel (c...

Modified clays were used to remove ethyl acetate from aqueous solutions. These clays were regenerated using supercritical CO2. Structural changes in the montmorillonite clay after treatment with quaternary amines were studied. The surface properties of the modified clay changed from highly hydrophilic to highly organophilic. The clay was regenerated by percolation of a stream of CO2 through the...

In this study, fuzzy logic was implemented to formulate the fuzziness of layer boundaries for a two-layered clay soil. A field of two-layered clay with fuzzy boundaries between layers was generated, and then the bearing capacity of strip footing on this field was calculated by the assumption of plane-strain conditions. The Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion was used and bearing capacity calculation...

Partially exfoliated poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) / montmorillonite clay nanocomposite was synthesized via the free radical polymerization of MMA in the presence of alkyl ammonium substituted polysilsesquioxane surfactant-modified clay and AIBN initiator in supercritical CO2. MMT clay was initially cation exchanged with the surfactant to enhance its hydrophobicity and to expand the interla...
