Abstract:Artificial dyes such as methylene blue are commonly detected in textile industry wastewater. Clay is commonly used as an economical and effective adsorbent for methylene blue in textile waste treatment. The addition of surfactants into the system is usually done to increase the adsorption capacity of the clay. In this study, we used a molecular dynamics simulation method to study the effect of tetrabutylammonium organic surfactant on the adsorption process of methylene blue on the clay surface. The modelled cl… Show more
