Abstract :
[en] Clay minerals are frequently used in adsorption
processes with aqueous solution; it was found that the
adsorption properties of clays change when the samples are
modified. In this context, polyaniline-modified clay nanocomposite
(at 10 %) was prepared by in situ polymerization
processes. The structural and morphological
characteristics of the synthesized material are systematically
examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron
microscopy, thermo-gravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry
and infrared spectroscopy techniques. The
adsorption property of the modified clay was evaluated for
the removal of a reactive dye (methylene blue) from
aqueous solution at room temperature (25 C) via batch
adsorption.
