Ca-montruorillonite (Ca-Mont) was exchanged with two quaternary amines, tetramethylammonium (TMA) chloride and hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA) bromide, to Study the surfactant ion exchange effect on the pore structure, surface characteristics, and adsorption properties of montmorillonite. The revolution of both the surface area and pore Structure of montmorillonite was characterized based oil classical and fractal analyses of the nitrogen isotherms as well as the XRD patterns. The change of surf-ace characteristics was identified from FTIR patterns and zeta-potential plots. The adsorption isotherms of acid dye Amido Naphthol Red G (AR1), were then measured to identify the effects of the ion-exchange process on the adsorption properties of montmorillonite. It was found that the exchange processes might induce an increase or decrease in the surface area, pore size, pore volume, and surface fractal dimension D of montmorillonite, depending on the size, the molecular arrangement, and the degree of hydration of the exchanged ion in the clay. On the other hand, it was also found that the hydrophobic bonding by conglomeration of large C-16 alkyl groups associated with HDTMA Could cause positive charge development on the Surface of montmorillonite, which was not observed for TMA-modified montmorillonite (TMM). The effects of the alteration of the Surface characteristics of montmorillonites on their adsorption selectivity for acid dye were discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
