Cationic surfactants are being used in various applications industrially and domestically for
a long time. Pyridinium salts come under the category of cationic surfactants. These are …

Abstract Sorptive removal of Co 2+, Sr 2+ and Cs+ from aqueous solution by phosphate-
modified montmorillonite (PMM) was studied considering the influencing factors (initial metal …

A novel class of cationic gemini surfactants were prepared and used as modifiers for sodium
montmorillonite (MMT-Na). The modified montmorillonites were characterized by X-ray …

This paper presents a study of polyamide 6/sepiolite clay nanocomposite, obtained by melt
compounding in a mini twin-screw extruder, and characterised in terms of morphology (SEM …

Biodegradable PCL-base d nanocomposites were successfully prepared by melt mixing of
the poly (ε-caprolactone) with two organo-modified Algerian montmorillonites by the cation …

In this paper, a series of organoclays were prepared from montmorillonites with different
CEC and surfactants with different alkyl chain numbers and chain length. Then, FTIR …

Sorption to the phyllosilicate clay minerals Illite, kaolinite, and bentonite has been studied for
a wide variety of organic cations using a flow-through method with fully aqueous medium as …

The activities of antibacterial compounds, such as cetylpyridinium (CP),
cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA), silver ions and metallic silver, immobilised on …

Beads of alginate montmorillonite have been used for the first time as sorbent of the cationic
pesticide paraquat (PQ). They are a green material because they are formed by a …

In this study, Na-montmorillonite (MMT) was intercalated with the cerium cations. The Ce 3+
cations intercalated sodium montmorillonite (Ce-MMT) nanoreservoirs were incorporated …
