Porous Clay Heterostructure with Alginate Encapsulation for Toluene Removal

Abstract: A volatile organic compound adsorbent based on a porous clay heterostructure (PCH) with alginate biopolymer was successfully prepared. From N2 adsorption–desorption analysis, the specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size of bentonite were dramatically increased after introducing the porous structure. Following complexation with alginate (Alg-PCH), the pore volume and pore size were not significantly affected by pore structure. The thermal stability of Alg-PCH shows enhanced thermal stability compared t… Show more

“…At higher BO ratios, the Alg was inadequate to establish a stable structure once it reacted with the calcium ions in the bath. Similar results have been observed for halloysite–alginate and organoclay–alginate nanocomposites [ 33 , 34 ]. The sphericity of grains of the filtration bed applied for water treatment was considered an important parameter for column design as it affects the bed porosity.…”

“…Spherical Alg granules are convenient to use as adsorbents in practical applications. They can help avoid secondary pollution resulting from dissolution, as reported in several articles with various powder adsorbents, such as iron oxide, clay, and activated carbon [ 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

“…After calcination at 550 °C of the Al-PCH and Zr-PCH precursors, the PXRD patter indicated a reduction of the basal spacing to 3.80 and 3.84 nm, respectively (Figure 2). Th fact resulted from the combustion of the organic moieties and to the formation and t condensation of three-dimensional silica species, as reported for PCH materials prepar using conventional methods [48,49]. After calcination at 550 • C of the Al-PCH and Zr-PCH precursors, the PXRD patterns indicated a reduction of the basal spacing to 3.80 and 3.84 nm, respectively (Figure 2).…”
