We investigated the electrokinetic properties of sepiolite suspensions using the microelectrophoresis technique as a function of pH in the presence of various electrolytes such as, LiCl, NaCl, KCl, Cu(NO3)2, CaCl2, Pb(NO3)2, AlCl3 and Fe(NO3)3 and then, the adsorption of Cu(II) ion onto sepiolite fr

Surface modification of clays has become increasingly important due to the practical applications of clays such as fillers and adsorbents. The surface modification of sepiolite with [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane has been employed. The modified sepiolite surface was investigated by FT
