Hybrid mesoporous materials with high surface area (1144m2/g) and enhanced thermal
stability were achieved through ultrasonication assisted sol–gel-intercalation technique …

Rare earths are one of the most critical raw materials group. In an effort to develop an
effective adsorbent for aqueous rare earths recovery, activated carbon (AC) was modified …

The use of organophilic bentonites as additives in organic-based drilling fluids has long
been a subject of study, but few studies have focused on the modification of these clays with …

This paper deals with the preparation of organoclays by intercalating poly (ethylene glycol)
molecules (PEG) between Na montmorillonite (Na-MMT) layers in a clay-water suspension …

Clay minerals are abundant, inexpensive and environmentally friendly materials with a huge
potential for diverse industrial and environmental applications. Their properties can be …

In oil and gas well drilling, the effective minimization of clay-water interactions is an essential
function that water-based drilling fluids must meet in order to maintain the integrity of the …

The most potent and significant polyphenolic molecule from tea catechins is
epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG); it has potential anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory …

Glycol bis-N-cetylnicotinate dibromide (designated as GN16-1-16), a new cationic gemini
surfactant, was prepared and used to modify bentonite. Bentonite modified with commercial …
