Vermiculite can interact with quaternary ammonium salts to form organmineral compounds in the ion-exchange adsorption of these salts from waste water. This paper investigates this interaction between vermiculite and Katamin AB, a commercial cationic surfactant consisting of an aqueous solution of alkylbenyldimethylammonium chloride homologs. It is shown that ion exchange and molecular sorption occur simultaneously during the interaction and that vermiculite is a highly effective adsorbent in process water purification.
