Sorption of Nitrobenzene to Anionic Surfactant Modified Layered Double Hydroxides
阴离子表面活性剂改性水滑石吸附硝基苯的特性研究

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) modified MgAl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized at different surfactant concentrations (0.5-2.0 TAEC) by the co-precipitation method. The LDH-DS samples obtained were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy. The results showed that SDS was successfully intercalated into the interlayer of the LDH, and the basal spacing was expanded from 0.80 nm to 3.98 nm. The intercalated SDS was considered consistent with a paraffin bilayers arrangement. The sorption of nitrobenzene on LDH-DS was examined, and the results showed that linear model could fit the sorption isotherms well (R2>0.99), which implied a partitioning sorption process. The sorption coefficient of nitrobenzene (Kd) on LDH-DS was positively related to the DS- loading amount, but the organic carbon content normalized sorption coefficient of nitrobenzene (Koc) was shown to remain relatively constant. The sorption thermodynamics results showed that the sorption of nitrobenzene on LDH-DS was an endothermic process, and the increase of entropy was the driving force for the sorption process.
