Abstract

Al-pillared clay was synthesized by constructing pillars of aluminum oxides at the interlayer of montmorillonite in bentonite. XRD, DTA and chemical analyses of Al-pillared clay were performed to examine mineralogical properties. Batch adsorption experiments were also conducted to determine the adsorption properties of this synthesized clay for phosphate ions. XRD analyses showed that the interlayer space of Al-pillared clay expanded to 18.03 $\AA$ at room temperature and shifted to $17 \AA$ after heating to $550^{\circ}C$. A small change in interlayer space after heating indicates high thermal stability. The interlayer expansion by glycerol was also very small. From DTA analyses, pillared clay showed the characteristic endothermic peaks at 270 and $420^{\circ}C$ , which might be caused by dehydration in framework of pillars between interlayers. Adsorption experiment revealed that Al-pillared clay had an excellent adsorption capacity to the phosphate ions, whereas montmorillonite had very low adsorption capacity to phosphate ions. In phosphate solution concentration up to 300 mg/L, 2 g of pillared clay could uptake almost 100% of phosphate ions from 20 mL of solution. After heat treatment of the phosphate adsorbed pillared clay at 50$0^{\circ}C$ to remove phosphate, the calcined pillared clay could adsorb phosphate ions with a little decreased adsorption efficiency. This fact indicates that Al-pillared clay can be recycled for the adsorption of phosphate ions.

벤토나이트에 포함된 몬모릴로나이트의 층간에 Al산화물의 기둥(pillar)을 만든 Al-층간가교 점토를 합성하였다. 이 Al-층간가교점토에 대해 XRD, DTA, 화학분석 등을 실시하여 광물학적 특성을 검토하였으며, 그리고 이 가교점토에 대하여 Batch법의 흡착실험을 통하여 인산이온의 흡착성을 검토하였다. X-선 회절분석의 결과, Al-층간가교점토는 상온에서 층간격이 $18.03 \AA$으로 증가되어 나타났고, $550\AA$가열에서도 약 $17\AA$을 나타내어 열적 안정성이 크며, 글리세롤에 의한 층간격의 팽윤은 매우 미약한 것으로 나타났다. 열분석 결과, 이 점토에는 pillar부분에 관련된 물의 탈수에 의한 것으로 보이는 $270^{\circ}C$$420^{\circ}C$의 특징적인 흡열반응이 나타났다. Al-층간가교 점토의 인산 이온에 대한 흡착실험의 결과, 몬모릴로나이트는 거의 흡착능력을 보이지 않는데 비하여 월등히 우수한 인산이온($PO_{4}^{3-}$ /)성을 나타냈다. 시료 2 g에 용액 20 mL의 실험에서 300 mg/L 이하의 인산 농도에서는 거의 100%의 흡착효율을 나타냈다. 그리고 인산 이온에 흡착된 시료를 $500^{\circ}C$로 가열한 후 재차 흡착실험을 행한 결과, 역시 매우 높은 흡착효율을 나타냈다. 따라서 Al-층간가교 점토의 인산 이온 흡착에 대한 재활용의 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다
