This work produced glass foams from soda-lime glass bottles, bentonite, and alumina by the replica method. Compositions with different contents of bentonite (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) were prepared and heat-treated at 800 °C. In the alumina-added compositions, 50 wt% of the bentonite was replaced by the alumina. The influences of the content of bentonite (binder) and alumina addition were evaluated through the physical-mechanical properties. The results showed that the alumina did not promote a significant effect on physical and mechanical properties in most glass foams; the exception was the sample with 20 wt% bentonite+alumina, which presented better physical properties (lower linear shrinkage and density and greater porosity) when compared to its equivalent sample (without alumina). Foams with 5% of bentonite or bentonite+alumina showed higher linear shrinkage indexes and high densification. Samples with 15% of bentonite or bentonite+alumina showed the best combination of properties: higher porosity (79.2% and 80.2%), water absorption (58.8% and 59.7%), lower shrinkage index (25.5% and 29.4%), and good flexural strength (0.69 and 0.45 MPa).

“…However, the pseudo-second-order model showed better R 2 values (near 1), indicating a better description of the adsorption kinetics. From the concept of this model, it is possible to infer that the limitation rate of the dye molecules adsorption in the clay occurs mainly through chemisorption [36,37,86,87]. Therefore, the second-order model is the most indicated to describe the adsorption mechanism, possibly due also to the interaction between the dye molecules and the new sites generated on the surface.…”

Adsorption of Anionic Dye on the Acid-Functionalized Bentonite

The efficiency of acid treatment on natural calcium bentonite (natural bentonite) for anionic dye adsorption was investigated using methyl orange (MO) as a probe. Additionally, adsorption experiments were accomplished between the natural bentonite, acidified bentonite, and a cationic dye (methylene blue, MB). Acid functionalization in natural bentonite (RF) was carried out with HCl and H2SO4 acids (RF1 and RF2, respectively). The samples were characterized by chemical analysis, mineralogy, particle size, and thermal behavior with the associated mass losses. The adsorption efficiency of MO and MB dyes was investigated by the effects of the initial concentration of adsorbate (Ci) and the contact time (tc). The acid treatment was efficient for increasing the adsorption capacity of the anionic dye, and the Qmaxexp values measured were 2.2 mg/g, 67.4 mg/g e 47.8 mg/g to RF, RF1 e RF2, respectively. On the other hand, the acid functionalization of bentonite did not significantly modify the MB dye adsorption. The Sips equation was the best fit for the adsorption isotherms. Thus, we found that the acid-functionalized bentonite increases the anionic dye adsorption by up to 8000%. The increased adsorptive capacity of acidified bentonite was explained in terms of electrostatic attraction between the clay surface and the dye molecule.

“…Table 1 summarizes the adsorption amount and rate constants. The adsorption curve of the dye mainly follows pseudo-second-order kinetics ( Figure 5 b) [ 42 ]. The adsorption amount of rhodamine B for two hours showed that the q e of TiO 2 @HNT/Alcap was 0.1704, which was about 1.7 times higher than that of the bare alginate capsules (q e 0.1026).…”

Strainer-Separable TiO2 on Halloysite Nanocomposite-Embedded Alginate Capsules with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity for Degradation of Organic Dyes

Photocatalysis driven by natural sunlight is an attractive approach to removing pollutants from wastewater. Although TiO2–based photocatalysts using various support nano-materials with high catalytic activity and reusability have been developed for purifying wastewater, the centrifugal separation methods used for the nanocatalysts limit their use for treating large amounts of water. Here, we prepared a TiO2 nano-catalyst supported on a halloysite nanotube (HNT)-encapsulated alginate capsule (TiO2@HNT/Alcap) to recapture the catalysts rapidly without centrifugation. The structure of TiO2@HNT/Alcap was characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM, and TGA. In our system, the combination of HNTs and alginate capsules (Alcaps) improved the efficiency of adsorption of organic pollutants to TiO2, and their milli = meter scale structure allowed ultra-fast filtering using a strainer. The TiO2@HNT/Alcaps showed ~1.7 times higher adsorption of rhodamine B compared to empty alginate capsules and also showed ~10 and ~6 times higher degradation rate compared to the HNT/Alcaps and TiO2/Alcaps, respectively.
