Abstract
In the present study, the raw montmorillonite clay has been modified by acid treatment, thermal
treatment and Organo-treatment by using ρ- amino benzoic acid. Copper and silver metal
nanoparticles were immobilized with 1.0 wt%, onto the various modified montmorillonite clay
supports.
Structural characteristics of the various samples were investigated through XRD and FTIR
techniques. Textural and morphological characteristics were estimated from low-temperature
adsorption- desorption isotherms of N2, SEM TEM and Cation exchange capacity of different modified
clay samples ware also determined.
Oxidative catalytic activities of various metal/clay nanocomposites samples were examined by the
degradation efficiency of MB dye, as a typical model dye contaminant in industrial waste water
taking into account the effect of PH, initial dye concentration, temperature and contact time.
Diverse kinetics models to examine the degradation process of MB dye were also employed.
