The nanocomposites were characterized by the Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction （XRD） method, transmission electron microscope （TEM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, and thermal gravimetric （TG） analysis. The results showed that the introduction of CMC may have different influences on the physico-chemical properties of OMMT and intercalated-exfoliated nanostructures were formed in the nanocomposites. The effects of different reaction conditions on the adsorption capacity of samples for Congo Red （CR） dye were investigated by controlling the amount ofhexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide （CTAB）, the weight ratio of CMC to OMMT, the reaction time, and the reaction temperature. Results from the adsorption experiment showed that the adsorption capacity of the nanocomposites can reach 171.37 rag/g, with the amount of CTAB being 1.0 cation exchange capacity （CEC） of MMT, the weight ratio of CMC to OMMT being l：l, the reaction time being 6 h, and the reaction temperature being 60~C. The CMC/OMMT nanocomposite can be used as a potential adsorbent to remove CR dye from an aqueous solution.展开更多

Two kinds of montmorillonites were organically modified by trimethyloctadecyl ammonium and dimethyl bis (hydrogenated tallow) ammonium, respectively. The morphology and tensile properties of the resultant composites were discussed in terms of the modifier type and OMMT content. The PVC/EVA/OMMT composites have intercalated structure, which is independent of the polarity of the modifiers, while the tensile properties show strong dependence on the modifier type. The OMMT modified by polar modifier gives higher tensile ductile and strength of PVC/EVA/OMMT composites.展开更多

In this work, the swelling behavior of NaMMT clay with a wide range of organic fluids, high polar through low polar fluids, is studied using a combination of Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) technique and molecular dynamics(MD) simulations.The construction of the representative clayefluid models is carried out, and the nature of nonbonded interactions between clay and fluids is studied using MD. Our FTIR and MD simulations results suggest the significant nonbonded interactions between Na-MMT clay and polar fluids, such as formamide and water. The nonbonded interactions of Na-MMT with methanol and acetone are significantly less than those in Na-MMT with polar fluids. The interactions of the fluids with various entities of the clay such as Sie O, Fee OH, Mge OH, and Ale OH captured via the spectroscopy experiments and modeling provide a finer understanding of the interactions and their contributions to swelling. The MD simulations are able to capture the band shifts observed in the spectra obtained in the spectroscopy experiments. This work also captures the conformations of interlayer sodium ions with formamide, water, methanol, and acetone during swelling. These nonbonded interactions provide insight into the molecular mechanism that the polarity of fluids plays an important role in the initiation of interlayer swelling, alteration in the orientations, and evolution of microstructure of swelling clays at the molecular scale.展开更多

The three forms of clay used for preparation of composites were unmodified montmorillonite, mono-ionic montmorillonite and organically modified montmorillonite. Montmorillonite clay was converted to mono-ionic clay by ion exchange with sodium using a sodium chloride solution. The mono-ionic clay was organically modified with an organic surfactant, methyl triphenyl phosphonium bromide. Nanocomposites were then prepared by combining the modified and raw forms of the clay with sawdust. The solution blending method was used to make the nanocomposites. The samples were analysed using thermogravimetric analysis and cone calorimetry. The studies showed that the nanocomposite which was made from sawdust and 1% organically modified clay had the most improved results in terms of burning time and thermal stability, as well as giving a calorific value closest to unmodified sawdust and the least amount of residue.展开更多

The interlayer region of clay minerals not only provides storage space for organic matter, but also possesses solid acid sites; and these acid sites were proposed to be involved with the transformation of organic matter into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. However, the effect of the organic matter storage in the interlayer space of clay minerals on the hydrocarbons generation has not been made clear. In this study, the interlayer complex of 12-aminolauric acid (ALA) and Na+-montmorillonite (Na+-Mt), labeled as ALAinter-Mt (Na), was synthesized to investigate the role of the interlayer space of montmorillonite in hydrocarbon generation. Simply mixed ALA-Mt complex [ALA-Mt (Na)] was also prepared for comparison. The pyrolysis of ALA and ALA-Mt complexes was studied using thermogravimetry coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR) and a high temperature-pressure system (a confined gold capsule-autoclave system).展开更多
