Adsorption and kinetic studies of the intercalation of some organic compounds onto Na+-montmorillonite.

The adsorption and the kinetics of the intercalation of metanil yellow dye, p-aminodiphenylamine (p-NH(2)-DPA), and benzidine by colloidally dispersed Na(+)-montmorillonte (Na(+)-MMT) have been studied. The adsorption isotherm parameters confirmed the occurrence of chemical adsorption that is based on the cation-exchange process. The selectivity of these compounds toward Na(+)-MMT follows the order metanil yellowp-NH(2)-DPA>benzidine. The rate of oxidation has been quantitatively measured using a stopped-flow spectrophotometer. The rate constant follows the order benzidine
