Publisher Summary This chapter reviews clay mineral–organic interactions. Clay minerals
have been implicated in the abiotic origins of life on the Earth because of their ability to …

In recent years, the combination of experimental and theoretical study to explain
adsorbate/adsorbent interactions has attracted the attention of researchers. In this context …

The phenomenon of metachromasia, which is related to molecular aggregation, leads to
significant changes in the photophysical properties of dyes. This review summarizes existing …

In this study, montmorillonite clay (MC) has been utilized as the adsorbent for the removal of
a cationic dye, methylene blue (MB), from aqueous solution by the batch adsorption …

Wastewater from dyestuff production is one of the main water pollutants. Several methods
have been applied for the remediation of contaminated water. Currently, adsorption using a …

This study reports on the preparation of pod-inspired superadsorbent materials, named as
CPCM@ MXenes. They have been synthetized by the assembly of chitosan-based porous …

Organic compounds can interact with clay minerals by i) adsorption at the external surfaces,
ii) adsorption at the external and internal surfaces, iii) by exchange of exchangeable ions at …

This study aimed to describe the adsorption of three pharmaceuticals compounds
(ibuprofen, naproxen and carbamazepine) onto natural clay on the basis of equilibrium …

The effects of temperature, pH and ionic strength on the adsorption of crystal violet (CV+) by
raw, Ni-saturated (Ni-), Co-saturated (Co-) and Zn-saturated (Zn-) bentonite samples were …

Clay minerals have large surface areas that contribute to their high adsorption capacity.
Pure clays were often used. However, their prices remain expensive. However, the natural …
