The structural and bleaching properties of nitric acid-activated Nteje clay was studied to investigate its ability to serve as an alternative to the high cost imported bleaching earth. The clay was mined, sun-dried, grinded, and reacted with different concentrations of nitric acid, ranging from 2 mol.L-1 to 15 mol.L-1. The un-activated and activated samples were characterized to study the struc...

This article reports the results of an investigation carried out in order to obtain zeolitic material GIS-NaP type with high cation exchange capacity using brick waste. The hydrothermal synthesis was a stainless-steel reactor NaOH activating solutions at concentrations 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 M, activation temperatures 100, 120 140 ℃ times 7, 8 9 hours. product obtained characterized by X-ray Fluoresc...

Ionic liquids (ILs), due to their low vapor pressure, have been explored as green solvents for organic synthesis. In this study, the uptake of ILs on a high charge Ca-montmorillonite (MMT) and the use of the IL-modified MMT for the removal of anionic contaminants from water were systematically studied. Uptake of ILs by MMT was exclusively resulted from a cation exchange mechanism when the initi...

The reported work is on the preparation and characterization of polyvinyl alcohol -g- Polyacrylic acid (PVA-g-PAA)/ Polybenzimidazole sulfone (PBIs) cation exchange membrane used for the electro dialysis of sodium chloride solution. The polymer syrup has been prepared using the grafting method with the help of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid in the presence of water solvent. The polymer ...
