In this article, the authors investigated the feasibility of using smectite-clay, co-occurring in brown coal deposits, for removal of direct dyes and pigments.
Abstract
Dyes and pigments are important organic pollutants of the water environment. Dyes may be removed from wastewater by using one of the most efficient methods for wastewater treatment-adsorption onto porous (natural and waste) minerals or organogenic substances. Feasibility of using smectite-clay, co-occurring in brown coal deposits, for removal of direct dyes was investigated. The Freundlich linear regression model was better in modeling of sorption direct dyes onto smectite-clay; it yielded better fit of the theoretical isotherm to the experimental data. The electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds were shown to play the most important role in adsorption of direct dyes onto smectite-clay.

Intercalated theophylline-smectite hybrid for pH-mediated delivery

TL;DR: Findings indicate that smectite clay is a potentially suitable vehicle for the safe passage of theophylline into the duodenum as well as reducing fluctuations in serum concentration which may impact therapeutic effect and toxicity.

Adsorption of anionic dyes onto natural, thermally and chemically modified smectite clays

TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption capacity of the smectite clays (from the overburden of the lignite deposit in Belchatow) for two anionic dyes, i.e., Reactive Blue 81 (RB-81) and Direct Blue 74 (DB-74), was investigated.

Regression analysis for the sorption isotherms of basic dyes on sugarcane dust

TL;DR: The sorption of three basic dyes, named basic violet 10, basic violet 1, and basic green 4, from aqueous solutions onto sugarcane dust was studied and indicated that the Chi-square test provided a better determination for the three sets of experimental data.
