A palygorskite-modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) was constructed using graphite powder mixed with palygorskite particles. Compared with the unmodified CPE, the resulting palygorskite-modified CPE remarkably increases the peak currents of catechol, and greatly lowers the peak potential separation. Therefore, the palygorskite exhibits catalytic activity to catechol and significantly improves the determining sensitivity. The electrocatalytic activity of palygorskite is attributed to its high adsorption capability and the -OH groups on its surface, which plays an important role in the electron transfer between the modified CPE and the catechol in the solution. The sensor shows a linear response range between 5 and 100 μM catechol with a correlation coefficient of 0.998. The detection limit was calculated as 0.57 μM (s/n=3).

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was coated with N-doped carbon-modified palygorskite and used as an electrochemical sensor for determination of Pb(II) by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. To obtain high reproducibility and sensitivity, optimum experimental conditions for lead deposition are studied. Voltammetric responses of the modified GCE prepared with different ratios of carbon and palygorskite are examined under same conditions.

Sorption-desorption of two different hydrophobic fungicides, penconazole and metalaxyl, by a series of clay minerals layered and non-layered (montmorillonite, illite, kaolinite, muscovite, sepiolite and palygorskite) modified with the two-chain cationic surfactant, dihexadecyldimetylammonium (DHDDMA) was studied by first time in this work. DHDDMA-clays showed a good capacity to sorb both fungicides from water. Freundlich sorption constants (K(f)) increased 22-268-fold for penconazole and 4-112-fold for metalaxyl in relation to natural clays.
