Aims: Ogwuta clay from Unwana in the South Eastern part of Nigeria was modified by ion exchange reaction using hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (HDTMAC). Study Design: This study was analyzed experimentally and instrumentally. Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out at the Department of Pure and Industrial Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The sample collection, literature search, experiment, results and analysis lasted for one and half years. Methodology: Physicochemical and thermal properties of the clay were determined after modification using classical and spectroscopic techniques. A combination of the wet and dry method (X-ray Fluorescence) was used to determine the metal oxide composition. Other techniques included; Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Thermogravimetry (TG). The Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) was determined using the methylene blue method with a value of 16.4 meq/100g after modification. Results: The product was slightly acidic with pH 4.3. Silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3), Na+, and K+ were found to be 47.58 %, 18.99%, 2.27, and 0.23% respectively. The clay was limited in mineral impurities with 0.0% T4+, 0.41% Mg2+, and 0.11% Ca2+ but high in carbonaceous matter with loss on ignition (LOI) of 13.17%. A C-H asymmetric stretching was visible around the 2931.9 cm-1 region as revealed by the Fourier Transform Infra-Red analysis. The X-Ray Diffraction analysis of the modified clay showed a basal spacing of 8.121 Å. Also, the X-Ray Diffractogram revealed kaolinite as the major clay mineral with the presence of quartz and polygorskite. Conclusion: This study posits that the modified clay can be potentially suitable for the adsorptive removal of organic contaminants in aqueous and real life media.

AbstractThe intercalation of Tb(III) into layered magadiite is achieved by three-step ion exchanges with H+/Na+, TBA+ (tetra-n-butylammonium ions)/H+ and Tb(EDTA)3+/TBA+. Various techniques, including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and photoluminescent spectroscopy (PL), were employed to characterize the Tb-intercalated magadiites. The XRD results revealed that the basal spacing of the Tb-intercalated magadiites was obviously larger than that of the Na-magadiite, confirming the intercalation. The IR spectra showed no bands attributable to EDTA in the Tb-intercalated magadiites, indicating that the EDTA has broken away from Tb(III)-ETDA complexes during ion exchange. Moreover, the basal spacing of Tb-intercalated magadiite tends to increase slightly with the increase in water content in the Tb-intercalated magadiite. The PL spectra show weak emissions, attributed to 5D4-7FJ (J = 3, 4, 5, 6) transitions of Tb3+.

After Ba2+/K+ ion exchange, hydrated Ba2+ replaced K+ from interlayer spacing of biotite. original biotite transformed to vermiculite-type hydrated Ba-mica. in order to study the effect of long-chain alkylammonium on biotite after structure changes, biotite, hydrated Ba-mica and mixing mica (A mixture of biotite and hydrated Ba-mica) were used to be modified by STAC (octadecyl trimethylammonium chloride). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction spectroscopywere were used to characterize the obtained samples to reveal the changes of interlayer spacing and basal spacing. The results showed that STA+ could not enter into the interlayer spacing of biotite but enter into that of hydrated Ba-mica and mixing mica. Almost all basal spacing of Ba-mica and mixing mica were increased to 2.8nm.

Aim and Objective: Formation of the gallbladder stones is a common disease and a major health problem. The present study aimed to identify the structures of the most common types of gallbladder stones using X-ray spectroscopic techniques, which provide information about the process of stone formation. Material and Method: Phase and elemental compositions of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones removed from gallbladders of patients were studied using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy combined with scanning electron microscopy analysis and X-ray diffraction. Results: The crystal structures of gallstones which coincide with standard patterns were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Plate-like cholesterol crystals with laminar shaped and thin layered structures were clearly observed for gallstone of pure cholesterol by scanning electron microscopy; it also revealed different morphologies from mixed cholesterol stones. Elemental analysis of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the different formation processes of the different types of gallstones. Conclusion: The method of fast and reliable X-ray spectroscopic techniques has numerous advantages over the traditional chemical analysis and other analytical techniques. The results also revealed that the X-ray spectroscopy technique is a promising technique that can aid in understanding the pathogenesis of gallstone disease.

Pesticides are one of the main organic pollutants as they are highly toxic and extensively used worldwide. The reclamation of wastewater containing pesticides is of utmost importance. For this purpose, GO-doped metal ferrites (GO-Fe3O4 and GO-CoFe2O4) were prepared and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic techniques. Photocatalytic potentials of catalysts were investigated against acetamiprid’s degradation. A detailed review of the parametric study revealed that efficiency of overall Fenton’s process relies on the combined effects of contributing factors, i.e., pH, initial oxidant concentration, catalyst dose, contact time, and acetamiprid load. ~97 and ~90% degradation of the acetamiprid was achieved by GO-CoFe2O4 and GO-Fe3O4, respectively during the first hour under UV radiations at optimized reaction conditions. At optimized conditions (i.e., pH:3, [H2O2]: 14.5 mM (for Fe3O4, GO-Fe3O4, and GO-CoFe2O4) and 21.75 mM (for CoFe2O4), catalysts: 100 mgL−1, time: 60min) the catalysts exhibited excellent performance, with high degradation rate, magnetic power, easy recovery at the end, and efficient reusability (up to 5 cycles without any considerable loss in catalytic activity). A high magnetic character offers its easy separation from aqueous systems using an external magnet. Moreover, the combined effects of experimental variables were assessed simultaneously and justified using response surface methodology (RSM).

The development of biopolymer electrolytes based on methylcellulose (MC) has been accomplished by incorporating ammonium bromide (NB) to the polymer-salt system. The biopolymer electrolytes were prepared via solution-casting method. The conductivity and permittivity characteristics of the material were studied. The biopolymer-salt complex formation have been analysed through Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The conductivity of the sample was measured by EIS HIOKI. Upon addition of 20 wt.% of NB, highest conductivity of 3.25×10-4 μScm-1 was achieved at ambient temperature. The temperature dependence of the biopolymer electrolytes exhibit Arrhenius behaviour. This result had been further proven in FTIR study.

In this study, sorption properties of a synthesized anionic clay were enhanced by the intercalation of oxalate ions in its interlayer space. The pristine and modified clay materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis. These techniques confirmed the presence of oxalate ions in the interlayer space of the clay. The intercalated clay was then used as a matrix for the sorption in batch mode of nickel ions in aqueous solution. The influence of a number of parameters such as contact time, pH, initial concentration of the analyte and adsorbent dosage were studied. The maximum adsorption of nickel was obtained at pH 6, that is, about 90% Ni2+ removal. The adsorbent/adsorbate equilibrium follows a pseudo-second order kinetics and best matches the Langmuir model. The modified clay was shown to be efficient matrix for the sorption of nickel ions.
