TL;DR: Silylated layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized through a surfactant-free method involving an in situ condensation of silane with the surface hydroxyl group of LDHs during its reconstruction in carbonate solution and show high thermal stability by maintained Si related bands even when the temperature was increased to 1000 degrees C.

TL;DR: In this article, the capacity of calcined Mg/Al layered double hydroxide for simultaneously neutralizing the pH of acid drainage and removing various heavy metal cations and oxyanions (Cr(VI) and phosphate) was studied.

TL;DR: The structural and sorptive characteristics of organo-clays with respect to HOCs have been studied extensively, and a large volume of literature has accumulated over the past few decades as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of organo-montmorillonites have been synthesized using surfactants with different alkyl chain length, and they were characterized by X-ray diffraction and differential thermogravimetry, combining with molecule modelling.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) material that generates acidic conditions in situ was prepared by grafting an acid precursor onto diatomite, which exhibited a high removal efficiency (100%) of BPA under natural pH conditions of the solution (pH ∼ 5.75).
