“…This is achieved through ionic exchange between Na + , Ca 2+ , K + and Mg 2+ in the clay interlayers and the cationic surfactant where the net surface charges of the clay are reversed from negative to positive (Su et al., 2011). This modification enhances the sorption of anions via ion exchange (Reeve and Fallowfield, 2018). Su et al.…”

In this paper surfactant modified kaolin clay for As(III) and As(V) was prepared by intercalating hexadecyltrimethylamonium bromide (HDTMA-Br) cationic surfactant onto the clay interlayers. Batch experiments were used to evaluate the effectiveness of surfactant modified kaolin clay towards As(III) and As(V) removal. The results revealed that adsorption of As(III) and As(V) is optimum at pH range 4–8. The maximum As(III) and As(V) adsorption capacities were found 2.33 and 2.88 mg/g, respectively after 60 min contact time. The data for adsorption of As(III) showed a better fit too pseudo first order model of reaction kinetics while the data for As(V) fitted better to pseudo second order model. The adsorption isotherm data for As(III) and As(V) fitted well to Langmuir model indicating that adsorption of both species occurred on a mono-layered surface. Adsorption thermodynamics model revealed that adsorption of As(III) and As(V) was spontaneous and exothermic. The presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+ increased As(III) and As(V) adsorption efficiency. The regeneration study showed that synthesized adsorbent can be used for up to 5 times with maximum As(III) and As(V) percentage removal of 54.2% and 62.33%, respectively achieved after 5th cycle. Surfactant modified kaolin clay mineral showed higher adsorption capacity towards As(III) and As(V) as compared to unmodified kaolin clay mineral and competitive with other adsorbent in the literature. The results obtained from this study revealed that surfactant modified kaolin mineral is a candidate material for arsenic remediation from groundwater.

In twenty-first century, numbers of synthetic dyes are used in many industries, for example paper, textile, cosmetic, leather for coloring, vs. The dyeing industries wastes is the most found contaminant to be recognized in wastewater. There are various treatment methods including oxidation processes, biological degradation, membrane filtration and coagulation/flocculation have been studied to treat dyeing wastewater. Unfortunately, these methods are high operational costs, complicated operations and possibility of producing more toxic products. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are interesting and alternative polymeric adsorbents that can be applied in wastewater treatment for sample preparation and for the quantification of dyes present in wastewater. Molecular imprinting is a process in which functional and crosslinking monomers are co-polymerized in the presence of the target analyte, the imprint molecule. Initially, the functional monomer forms a complex and, after polymerization, their functional groups are held by the highly crosslinking polymeric structure. Upon leaching of the imprint molecule from the polymer matrix, a polymer with binding sites complementary in size and shape to the imprint molecule is created. MIPs can function under extreme conditions of pH, temperature and complex environment. Also, MIPs present wide recognition due to their stability, ease of production and low-cost potential.
