INTERCALATION OF METHYLENE BLUE INTO MONTMORILLONITE AT DIFFERENT CONDITIONS: AN APPROACH FOR PREPARING CLAY-BASED NANOPIGMENTS

Intercalation products based on ionic exchange reaction between cationic dye methylene blue and Na+-montmorillonite were prepared. Montmorillonite particles intercalated with methylene blue were characterized using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, elemental and thermo-gravimetric analysis....
