Abstract
The paper analyses and compares the physico-chemical properties of aluminosilicate green clay and bentonite and diatomite from the Russian deposits. The research determines specific surface area and the morphological features of aluminosilicates, their pore sizes, and pore distribution by volume. The surface of the green clay includes silicon and aluminum oxides, montmorillonite, kaolinite, impurities of pyrite, saponite, micas, and hydrosludes. It also contains a lot of rounded particles with a diameter of 1-2 μm. According to the research, adsorption isotherms for mesoporous green clay samples belong to type IV; the samples of bentonite and diatomite (Middle Volga regions of Russia) belong to type II. They characterize the monolayer-multilayer concentration of solution components on macroporous bodies. Also the research revealed a sufficiently high amount of adsorbate (31 ml • g-1) to cover the surface of diatomite (Ulyanovsk region, Russia) with a monomolecular layer. The source minerals of diatomite are montmorillonite and muscovite. The study of adsorption and desorption branches for a bentonite sample (Samara region, Russia) indicates the processes asymmetry. Hence, we compared the ability to adsorb iron (II) and lead ions from aqueous systems using green clay extracted in different years (2017 and 2023).
