Summary: Studies have shown that the concentration of bromide ions has a significant impact on the surfactant density, stabilization layer, and aggregation behavior of CTAB molecules surrounding gold nanorods. Results indicate that increasing bromide ion concentration leads to higher density of the stabilization layer, eventually reaching a closed/collapsed bilayer configuration, resulting in anisotropic growth of the gold nanorods.

Summary: In this study, diatomaceous earth was organically modified to enhance its adsorption properties for lanthanum, samarium, europium, and gadolinium ions. The adsorption process was found to be spontaneous, exothermic, and operated by physisorption mechanism. Kinetic studies confirmed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation.

Summary: The study synthesized CTAB-HAp-Bent composites and tested their U(VI) adsorption performance. The results showed that CTAB-HAp-Bent had excellent adsorption capacity with a maximum qe value of -108.19 mg/g under different pH and ionic strength conditions. Additionally, the study found that phosphate can enhance adsorption at low concentrations, while carbonate suppresses the adsorption of U(VI).

Summary: The adsorption capacities of two types of bentonite (BSN and BCN) were enhanced by treating them with nitric acid. The treatment increased the specific area and pore volume of the bentonites. The adsorption mechanism of CIP on all adsorbents involved external diffusion, internal diffusion, and adsorption.

Summary: This study investigated the adsorption of tetracycline onto different clays and analyzed the adsorption mechanisms and influencing factors. Bentonite showed the highest adsorption capacity due to its swelling characteristic, interlayer cations, and tetracycline molecular size. Adsorption occurred on the external surface and in the interlayer space of bentonite, with both physical and chemical mechanisms involved. The adsorption process was partially reversible and endothermic.

Summary: In recent years, the adsorption behavior and mechanisms of bentonite-based materials for radionuclides have been extensively studied. Bentonite has shown adsorption capabilities for common radionuclides such as U(VI), Cs(I), Sr(II), Eu(III), Am(III), etc. The challenges of using bentonite for treating radionuclide-containing effluents and as a buffer/backfill material for the geological repository are discussed. This review will serve as a vital reference and guidance for future research and applications in the field of radioactive wastewater treatment and nuclear waste disposal.
