Abstract

Abstract Crude kaolinite-glauconite clay was active with hydrochloric acid for various times under variable microwave irradiation power. The influence of activation parameters (power and/or time) on the structural and textural properties of the treated samples has been studied. The modifications were evaluated by XRD, FTIR, XRF, SEM, BET, grain size and zettametry. The XRD and IR results show that acid activation reveals only weak changes on crystallinity of samples. However, HCl activation of clay assisted by microwave modifies morphology and size of grains with a little variation of the specific surface area values. The adsorbing power of the raw and activated clay was tested with methyl orange dye and the adsorption isotherms were modeled using Langmuir and Freundlich models. This study showed that the maximum adsorbed quantity of dye passes from 3.21mg/g for the untreated raw clay to 4.29mg/g for the activated clay irradiated 2 min under microwave at a power of 900W and that the Langmuir model is the most adequate to describe the adsorption process.
