Modified clays as sorbents for aromatic hydrocarbons in aqueous and mixed-solvent systems-2. Technical completion report, 1 April 1993-31 March 1994

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:572365

The second year of a two-year research project was used to complete a series of experiments on the sorptive properties of organoclays preparedfrom Wyoming montmorillonite by replacing the natural exchange ions of the clay by the quaternary ammonium ions TMA (tetramethylammonium), TMPA (trimethylphenylammonium), HDTMA (hexadecyltrime-thylammonium), and BDTDA (benzyldimethyltet radecylammonium). Experiments on the kinetics ofsorption of naphthalene and diuron by two of the organoclays show that equilibrium is attained quickly, in most cases within one or two hours.
