Adsorption of phenol and chlorophenols on pure and modified sepiolite [PDF]
In this work, pure sepiolite and sepiolite modified by nitric acid (HNO3), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA) were used ad adsorbents. The changes on the surface were studied by IR spectroscopy.

Zeolite–sepiolite nanoheterostructures [PDF]
Zeolite–sepiolite inorganic nanoheterostructures have been hydrothermally synthesized by adding a dispersion of colloidal sepiolite to a solution able to produce a nanocrystalline zeolite (silicalite). The obtained product could be recovered in good yield by simple filtration only when the relative sepiolite concentration exceeded a threshold of 1.8 wt%

Silica-Sepiolite Nanoarchitectures
Silica-sepiolite heterostructured materials have been prepared as novel nanoarchitectures by generation of SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) on the surface of the sepiolite fibrous clay mineral. The synthetic approach implies the use of organo-sepiolites dispersed in isopropanol to which is incorporated a selected silicon alcoxysilane, such as ...

Sepiolite and sepiolite-bound humic acid interactions in alkaline media and the mechanism of the formation of sepiolite-humic acid complexes [PDF]
The surface-controlled reactions and interfaces of clays and/or clay minerals are strongly determined by the adsorption of dissolved humic substances which have surface active characters. Consequently, this may lead to an improved understanding of organo-clay complexes for remediation purposes of polluted areas.

PVB/sepiolite nanocomposites as reinforcement agents for paper [PDF]
In order to improve the mechanical properties of paper, 1, 3 and 5 wt.% of sepiolite were dispersed in a poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) matrix and coated onto the surface of schrenz (110 g m-2).

SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATIONS OF METAL/SEPIOLITE AND METAL OXIDE/SEPIOLITE NANOCOMPOSITES
In the United States, the Amargosa Valley of Nevada has the exclusively exploitable and commercial deposit of sepiolite. However, the current sepiolite products are mainly low-value products.

Improvement of Nafion®-sepiolite composite membranes for PEMFC with sulfo-fluorinated sepiolite [PDF]
A new composite membrane based on Nafion® loaded with sulfo-fluorinated sepiolite was prepared, characterized and tested in a membrane electrode assembly in fuel cell operating conditions. Pristine sepiolite, a natural microfibrous and highly hygroscopic clay, was first modified so as to make it proton conductive on one hand and to increase ...

Adsorption of Nitrate Ions onto Sepiolite and Surfactant-Modified Sepiolite
The adsorption of nitrate ions onto clay minerals has not been given much attention, possibly because clay surfaces are negatively charged. In order to increase the positive charge on the surface, sepiolite was modified in the present studies by ...

On the Chemical Composition of Sepiolite and Palygorskite [PDF]
Abstract Many studies of the chemical composition of sepiolite and palygorskite have been carried out using analytical electron microscopy (AEM). According to the literature, a compositional gap exists between sepiolites and palygorskites, but the results presented here show that they may all be intermediate compositions between two ...
