Montmorillonite grafted polyacrylic acid composite (GNM) was prepared by using ultraviolet radiation grafting method in this work. The synthesized materials were characterized by XRF, SEM, FTIR, XRD, TG, and XPS. The experimental equilibrium data indicates that the adsorbent is suitable for the Langmuir model and belongs to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The entire adsorption process is spontaneous, endothermic, and chaotically enhanced by thermodynamic analysis. The maximum adsorption capacity of La(III) by GNM was 280.54 mg/g at 313.15 K. In addition, the regeneration experiment shows that the adsorbent has good reusability and stable desorption efficiency. This study demonstrates that GNM has high adsorption performance and La(III) adsorption and regeneration capabilities to solve the water pollution caused by rare earth ions and regeneration capabilities for La(III).

With the growing human awareness of trying to reduce the environmental impact in today's world, the development of new sustainably based materials has been the increasing focus of industry and academia. Biocomposites are environmentally friendly materials produced from raw materials synthesized from renewable sources. In this sense, this work aims to characterize and evaluate the mechanical and thermal performances of biocomposites manufactured from a thermoplastic matrix of high-density bioethylene and obtained from ethanol produced from sugarcane and reinforced with organophilic montmorillonite clay.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have attracted much attention for the lubrication enhancement of water. Stably dispersing nanosheets in water for an extended period is a challenging task. 2D montmorillonite (MMT) nanosheets are modified with protonic ionic liquids (PILs) with the assistance of simple and efficient mechanochemical synthesis, which can stably disperse in water.

Article Synopsis
- The rapid industrial growth has led to increased water pollution, particularly from synthetic dyes, prompting the development of a new hydrogel sorbent (BC-r-Na-Alg-g-p(NIPAm-co-AAc)) made from bentonite clay, sodium alginate, and poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-acrylic acid).
- Characterization of the sorbent showed a remarkable swelling capacity of 9664% at pH 11, and its effectiveness in removing methylene green (MG) was tested under various conditions, demonstrating chemisorption as the main interaction mode.
- With only a 5% decrease in performance after 6 cycles of use, the sorbent's
