Synthetic Na-magadiite sample was used for organofunctionalization process with N-propyldiethylenetrimethoxysilane and bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]tetrasulfide, after expanding the interlayer distance with polar organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The resulted materials were submitted to process of adsorption with arsenic solution at pH 2.0 and 298{+-}1 K. The adsorption isotherms were adjusted using a modified Langmuir equation with regression nonlinear; the net thermal effects obtained from calorimetric titration measurements were adjusted to a modified Langmuir equation. The adsorption process was exothermic ({delta}{sub int}H=-4.15-5.98 kJ mol{sup -1}) accompanied by increase in entropy ({delta}{sub int}S=41.32-62.20 J k{sup -1} mol{sup -1}) and Gibbs energy ({delta}{sub int}G=-22.44-24.56 kJ mol{sup -1}). The favorable values corroborate with the arsenic (III)/basic reactive centers interaction at the solid-liquid interface in the spontaneous process. - Grapical Abstract: The results suggest that the adsorption capacities increased with an increase of reactive basic centers in the pendant organic chains of the intercalated agent.
