Abstract

The organization of organic species on the ordered structures of clays and clay minerals is one way to produce inorganic-organic hybrids with controlled microstructures and properties. The reactions of the adsorbed species and their arrangement on the clay surfaces can be guided by the choice of clay and of adsorbed species. The purpose of the present study was to intercalate alkylammonium ions into a Thai bentonite and to study the effect on dye-adsorption efficiency. A series of alkylammonium ions, CnH2n+1NH3+ (n = 8, 10, 12, or 18), was incorporated into the interlayer spaces of a natural bentonite by mixing an aqueous dispersion of bentonite with an aqueous solution of protonated alkylamines at room temperature. The basal spacings of the intercalation compounds varied depending on the alkyl chain lengths and the amount of alkylammonium ions. The alkylammonium ions adsorbed formed lateral monolayer, bilayer, pseudo-trimolecular layer, paraffin-type monolayer, and/or paraffin-type bilayer structures. The adsorption efficiency of alkylammonium-bentonites was determined using batch adsorption experiments of rhodamine 6G from a water-ethanol solution; the greatest efficiency was 87% while that of the bare bentonite was 47%. The loading amount and the arrangement of the intercalated alkylammonium ions in the interlayer spaces, as well as the specific surface area and pore volume, played important roles in the adsorption efficiency of alkylammonium-bentonite. The adsorption equilibrium data for rhodamine 6G on the best adsorbent were interpreted using the Langmuir isotherm model and a pseudo-second order kinetics model. The adsorption efficiency of the adsorbent decreased by only 17% after five runs.
