This review deals with modification of montmorillonite and other clay-minerals and clays by
interacting them with organic cations, for producing slow release formulations of herbicides …

" Provides comprehensive coverage of the structures, properties, and interactions of organo-
clay complexes as well as their role in the origin of life. Presents current techniques in …

The removal of tannin from aqueous media by cationic surfactant-modified bentonite clay
was studied in a batch system. The surfactant used was hexadecyltrimethylammonium …

This study aimed to optimize organo-clay formulations for reduction of leaching of the
herbicides alachlor, metolachlor, and norflurazon, which include a phenyl ring in the …

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 …

This study evaluates a newly proposed cation-exchange model that defines the sorption of
organic cations to soil as a summed contribution of sorption to organic matter (OM) and …

A systematic study was carried out to characterize the adsorption of organic cations as
monomers, micelles, or polymers on montmorillonite by monitoring zeta potential (ξ) as a …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes clay-based formulations of pesticides, whose
design was to solve environmental and economical problems. The chapter focuses on …

The use of commercially available formulations of alachlor has resulted in a serious
environmental problem due to its leaching and migration to water sources. The objective of …

Adsorptive-type organoclays, where hydrocarbons adsorb directly to the siloxane surfaces,
were studied to find new organic cations and to determine the parameters that produce …
