Surface Charge and Adsorption Characteristics for Fluoride of Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Modified Vermiculite

Article Preview

Abstract:

HDTMA-modified vermiculite (HDTMA-Ver) was formed in a suspension by the interactions between vermiculite and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA). For vermiculite and HDTMA-Ver, the pH of the point of zero charge (pHpzc) is 3.16 and 5.09, the surface charge at pH 4.5 is-0.167 and 0.083 mmol/g, and the Langmuir adsorption capacity (qmax) is 4.98 and 8.67 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption data for fluoride by vermiculite and HDTMA-Ver could be fitted by Langmuir model. The as-prepared HDTMA-Ver exhibited excellent ability to remove fluoride ions from aqueous solutions.
