Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the inclusion properties of various nonionic hydrophobic organic compounds by a novel intercalate derived from magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (Mg/Al LDH) and carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin with a degree of substitution of 3 [CMCD(3)]. The isotherm sorption results at 25 °C showed that the CMCD(3)-Mg/Al LDH intercalate could retain all the organic compounds (trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, benzene, toluene, p-, o-, m-xylene, ethylbenzene, 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene, naphthalene) studied and its sorption affinity for organic compounds was positively related to their hydrophobicities. The host-guest interaction was attributed to a partition process of the organic compounds into cyclodextrin cavities as well as intermolecular pores. A stereoselective interaction might also be involved due to the intercalation of CMCD(3) within Mg/Al LDH interlayers.
