Nanoporous sodium montmorillonite clay (Na+-MMT) was used as a support for the immobilization of 1-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (Na+-MMT-[pmim]HSO4). This catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity for the preparation of 2-amino-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzopyrans via three-component reactions betw...

In this study, the mechanical and thermal behavior of the nano-reinforced polymer composite reinforced by Montmorillonite (MMT) nanoparticles is investigated. Due to low cost of computations, the 3D representative volume elements (RVE) method is utilized using ABAQUS finite element commercial software. Low density poly ethylene (LDPE) and MMT are used as matrix and nanoparticle material, respec...

In this batch study, montmorillonite was modified by a cationic surfactant [hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA-MMT)] and used as sorbent to remove bromocresol green (BCG) from aqueous solutions. The effect of several factors such as surfactant loading rate onto the clay, contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, dye concentration, and ion strength were investigated on the sorption. The equilib...

In this study, montmorillonite (MMT) modified by a cationic surfactant (Hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, HDTMA) was used as adsorbent to the removal of methyl red (MR) from aqueous solution. The effect of different parameters includes surfactant loading rate, contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, and initial MR content was investigated on the sorption. The sorption capacity was increased by i...

conducting polymers, because of their special properties, are used to introduce conductive polymeric composites. also, clays have recently been used for preparation of polymer composites with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties. the aim of this work is to study the synergetic effect of the co-presence of conducting polyaniline and montmorillonite in the polyethylene matrix. polyethylene ...

The use of adequate thermal energy storage (TES) systems has shown the potential to increase efficiency in many fields, such as building sector. Shape-stabilized phase change materials (SS-PCMs) have attracted attention address one key barriers (PCMs), leakage during liquid state, that nowadays limits its applicability. However, SS-PCMs still drawbacks overcome, poor fire reaction and stability...

This work investigated the technical feasibility of preparing, stabilizing and isolating poorly water-soluble drug nanoparticles via a small-scale antisolvent precipitation process operating in semi-continuous mode. Specifically, novel was demonstrated for carrier particle mediated production, stabilization isolation valsartan into solid form using montmorillonite clay particles as carrier. The...

Exposure to high levels of heavy metals exerts serious health hazards humankind. It is, hence, imperative limit exposure by avoiding their consumption, direct or indirect, and appropriately disposing items that may contain metals. To explore removal efficacy, montmorillonite (MMT), a type clay, was prepared at varying dosages (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 wt%) fabricate polysulfone mixed matrix membranes for ...
