Separation of pollutants from aqueous solution using nanoclay and its nanocomposites: A review

Hybridization of Nanoclay with a Chromium‐Based Metal‐Organic Framework for Boosting Adsorption of Organic Dyes from Wastewater

“…Evaluations of surface charge by zeta potential (Figure 3c) have determined that the Clay-MOF composite is positively charged at all pH values (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). The surface charge gradually decreased from + 10.2 mV at pH 5 down to + 0.93 mV at pH 11.…”

“…[3] Despite many attempts at wastewater treatment using the clay minerals and their composites, there are still many shortcomings to overcome. [4] An important issue is the hydrophilic properties of clay minerals, which makes their effective removal of organic pollutants from wastewater rather questionable. [5] Therefore, surface modification and/or hybridization of clay-based adsorbent are vital issues for efficient wastewater treatment.…”

Sustainable and safer nanoclay composites for multifaceted applications

“…[91][92][93] Environmental remediation is crucial for cleaning our planet's harmful pollutants, and nanoclays have found predominant usage in this area. [94][95][96][97] Research has advanced from the deployment of nanoclay as fillers 33,35,98 to self-propelled nanorobots 99 for the remediation of contaminants. The shearthinning properties of nanoclays upon fusion with both natural/synthetic polymers renders them ideal for both 3D and 4D printing.…”

Study of fiber delamination on silane modified ramie fiber/OMMTnano‐clay epoxy composite under low‐velocity impact, shear load, and high‐speeddrilling

“…[16] There are lot more previous research works, which explicated the importance of nanoclay addition into the polymer and its outcomes. [17][18][19][20] There have been several articles discussing silane-treated fibers and fillers' involvement in the polymer matrix medium. However, while research on nanoclay-toughened epoxy composites based on sisal, flax, jute, and coir fibers has been completed in great detail, only a partial examination of the combination of ramie fiber with organically-modified montmorillonite (OMMT) nanoclay has been conducted.…”
