Characterization of uranium(VI) sorption by organobentonite

Uranium sorption on bentonite modified by octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide

“…Relatively minor attention is paid to the U(VI) sorption on smectites modified by large organic cations, so-called organoclays [24]. The incorporation of a large organic cation into the clay structure changes its hydrophilic properties to hydrophobic.…”

Preparation of montmorillonite@carbon composite and its application for U(VI) removal from aqueous solution

“…In order to improve the elimination efficiency of clay minerals, lots of work has been done. For instance, Majdan et al investigated the sorption of uranium on bentonite modified by octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide [19,20], and they observed an increase of the distribution constant suggesting their modification was effective. However, in the preparation process, a large number of inorganic and organic reagents were used, which may be harmful to the environment.…”

Adsorption of Ni(II) from model solutions using co-precipitated inorganic oxides

“…At a time of continual development of technology, synthetic adsorbents also used in the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions are gaining increasing popularity (Tofighy and Mohammadi 2011;Gandhi and Meenakshi 2012;Majdan et al 2010). Sorbents prepared in the laboratory can display similar or even better physicochemical properties than their natural counterparts.…”
