ABSTRACT

The Pillaring process of montmorillonite has been carried out in order to promote the increase of clay mineral absorption capacity. The characteristics of clay minerals were investigated using XRD, XRF and ICP analyzes. Since...

ABSTRACT

Pillared clays (PILC) are interesting materials mostly due to their high basal spacing and surface area, which make them suitable for adsorption of the most toxic and abundant of the aflatoxins (Aflatoxin ...

Iron overload in the amount of 10-20 mg/kg of body weight can induce toxicity. Iron causes its toxic effects in a form of oxidative stress and inhibition of key metabolic enzymes. It seems that montmorillonite clay can reduce absorption of elemental...

This work demonstrates the use of montmorillonite (MMT) clay minerals as an effective and low cost catalyst

support for Pt nanoparticles for electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol molecules. Scanning electron

and stable in soil is a crucial task. In doing so, this study focused on the synthesis of organo-montmorillonite (MMT) and its effect on activity and stability of these enzymes in soil. The organo-MMT was synthesized by modifying the Na-MMT using the HDTMA...

The thermal stability of medium-density polyethylene (MDPE)/Montmorillonite nanocomposite was studied by TGA and DSC methods in a wide range of temperature. The dispersion of the MMT clays on microscopic scales was examined using a Transmission...
