Abstract

Thermal and structural properties of bentonite from Ünye (Turkey) and that of Ag-, Cu- and Fe-modified forms were investigated by differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and surface area measurement methods. Simultaneous TG–DTA curves of all clay samples were obtained at three different heating rates 10, 15 and 20 °C min−1 over the temperature range 25–1000 °C. Adsorption properties of C2H4 for all bentonite samples were obtained at 273 K and pressures up to 100 kPa. Uptake of C2H4 increased as Ag-B > Cu-B > B > Fe-B.
