Abstract
Magnetic and organic layered composite was prepared by the co-precipitation of organoclay with Fe(II)/Fe(Ⅲ) salts. Interaction mechanism of iron oxide particles into organoclay interlayer and their application for crude oil adsorption are studied. art Ⅰ: The iron oxide particles were intercalated into the layered silicate clay by stepwise intercalation. The sodium montmorillonite (Na+–MMT) was modified by a series of poly(oxyalkylene)-amine salts to yield a spatially-expanded silicates (named as Organoclay) from the original 12 Å up to 91 Å. Combining the low-temperature-dispersible Organoclay with the iron-oxide particles ultimately produced a series of organoclay/iron oxide composite by the co-precipitation method. Two different mechanisms of adsorption and intercalation were found. The use of D4000 intercalated MMT at high d spacing (91 Å) allowed the incorporation of iron-oxide in the organoclay interlayer. As a result, the composite of Fe3O4/D4000/clay at 47 Å d spacing were obtained and observed the iron-oxide particles existed in the clay gallery by TEM.art Ⅱ: In order to prepare a magnetic composite with functions for absorbing organics, high organic content in the clay layers is prepared. The TGA data of D4000-MMT/iron oxide composite showed the organic fraction up to 51 wt % and consequently dispersible in toluene (1 wt %). When applied for oil adsorption, the result of adsorption capacity at 4-fold of crude oil weight absorbed by the composites (by weight) was achieved. Due to the presence of iron-oxide particles (ca. 17 wt %), the oil-adsorbed Organoclay still retained the magnetic property and the compounds were movable by an applied magnetic field.eywords: magnetic organoclay, layered silicate, iron oxide, crude oil, adsorption, intercalation.
