The most potent and significant polyphenolic molecule from tea catechins is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG); it has potential anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Methods are needed to mitigate its presence in the environment and protect humans from exposure. The objective of the present study was to investigate a functionalized, low-cost clay mineral as an adsorbent for the tea polyphenol EGCG. Hydrophilic bentonite (Bn) was functionalized using Aliquat 336 (A336) and isobutyl(trimethoxy)silane (IBTS). The degree of clay functionalization depended on the extent of introduction of alkyl linkages between the superimposed clay layers. Results revealed that Aliquat 336 functionalized clay (A336-Bn) exhibited maximum thermal stability at 500°C and it is a promising adsorbent for ECGC with a maximum adsorption capacity of 196.26 mg/g at equilibrium. Experimental data were analyzed using pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models. Adsorption isotherms were interpreted from the Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
