Abstract

Pectin-montmorillonite (Pec-MMT) composites have been prepared and characterized by physical–chemical methods. Coating of the surface of MMT with pectin was confirmed by SEM and IR-spectroscopy. Pectin significantly affects the specific surface area and porosity of the composites. XRD study of the prepared composites has showed the shifting on basal spacing in the spectrum of Pec-MMT indicating intercalation of the polymer into the MMT interlayers. The synthesized composites have demonstrated the detoxifying ability to normalize blood cellular composition of rats after cobalt intoxication.
