Abstract
Organic Na-montmorillonite (OMt-12-2-12·2Y - , Y=CH 3 CO 3 - , C 6 H 5 COO - and Br - ) modified by a series of Gemini quaternary ammonium surfactants with different counterions was prepared for enhancing the adsorption capacity of methyl orange. Compared with the initial adsorption capacity of 5.251 mg/g of Na-Mt, the adsorption effect of OMts under the optimal conditions increased by about 31~34 times. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics of all adsorption processes were respectively described by Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models. The structure, hydrophobicity and hydration of the counterions, as well as the affinity of the counterions with the long aliphatic chains, had a certain influence on the adsorption performance of OMts for methyl orange.
