The present study discusses to exploit the porous clay materials viz., the commercial bentonite and locally collected clay to obtain the novel hybrid materials using the hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HDTMA) or the aluminum pillared-HDTMA modified clay materials. The organic cations as possessed with long-chain alkyl groups (e.g., HDTMA) are able to impart the hydrophobic quality of the mineral surface and such hybrid materials capable to provide hydrophobic core along with organophilic. The hybrid materials are, then, employed in the attenuation of important micro-pollutants viz., diclofenac sodium, EE2 and tetracycline from aqueous solutions. Batch and fixed-bed reactor operations are conducted |
