E S I L V A . Can. J. Chem. 58, 547 (1980). A model system composed of bentonite, humic acid (HA), polystyrene sulphonic acid (PSSA), methylene blue (MB), and paraquat was used to characterize the possible interactions of organocations in natural waters. The adsorption and desorption studies with bentonite indicated that the clay had a strong preference for the organocations over alkali and alkaline earth cations. Paraquat saturated the bentonite up to the cation exchange capacity whereas methylene blue did not completely saturate the clay but did form methy!ene blue aggregates on the clay surface. The aggregates could be readily removed by washing with distilled water. The organocation interactions with the anionic polyelectrolytes were more susceptible to changes in pH or ionic strength. Paraquat could be completely desorbed from HA and PSSA by raising the solution ionic strength to 0.1. Methyiene blue could not be completely removed from the humic acid bat could be removed from PSSA by raising the ionic strength to 0.1. The studies indicate that a combination of dialysis separations. variation of ionic strength, and spectrophotometric analysis could be used to determine the free paraquat and the bound paraquat susceptible to changes in environmental levels of pH and ionic strength.

Abstract--Adsorption studies indicate that paraquat, diquat, and thionine are bound on bentonite by amounts greater than the measured cation-exchange capacity (CEC) of the clay. Methylene blue, new methylene blue, and malachite green are bound by amounts equal to the CEC. The unipositive organocations form aggregates on the clay surface. Aggregation increases with ionic strength and increases the apparent adsorption capacity by 25%. The aggregates are removed by washing with distilled water. Desorption studies show that the dyes are irreversibly bound, whereas the dipositive organocations are reversibly bound. Ionic strength variation reduces adsorption by 15 and 36% in the monovalent and divalent organocation-clay systems, respectively. In the clay-divalent organocation systems adsorption is greater on Na-saturated clay than on K-saturated clay. Adsorption is unchanged over the pH range 4.5-8.5 and decreases steadily below pH 4.0. Changes in adsorption due to changes in temperature are small. The study indicates that ionic strength is the most important variable in clay-organocation interactions.
