Abstract:
Three types of organovermiculites with various organic cation (HDTMA) loading were prepared to be used as sorptive material for non-ionic organic compounds. The prepared materials were characterized using XRD and TOC analysis. The experiments evolved the fact that lower loading of HDTMA is more acceptable for sorption of neutral organic molecules from aqueous solutions. One of the possible models of intercalated molecules arrangement in vermiculite spacing was proposed.
