Clay nanosheets with excellent adsorption properties (Shinshu University, Faculty of Engineering)

Without damaging the original silica shape, a hectorite-like layered silicate grows selectively on the surface.

We will introduce the technology for directly cultivating clay nanosheets with excellent adsorption properties using silica gel. Cation exchange materials are utilized by being packed into columns or dispersed in water, but in the latter case, it is important that the adsorbent can be easily recovered. In conventional technologies, recovery through filtration or centrifugation can be difficult when dealing with fine particles (at the nanoscale). In this technology, the material hardly delaminates even in solvents that typically cause swelling and delamination, making recovery from the solution easy. Since it thinly coats the silica surface, it is useful for separation in distribution systems. 【Features】 - Hardly delaminates even in solvents that cause swelling and delamination - Easy recovery from the solution - Thinly coats the silica surface, aiding in separation in distribution systems - Not dependent on the shape of the starting silica *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
