Abstract

A laboratory experiment has been carried out to investigate the sorption behavior of 2,4-D onto two types of bentonite material: Na–Ca bentonite and organically modified bentonite (HDTMA-Br) using hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The amount of HDTMA-Br was equivalent to the cation exchange capacity of the dominant mineral, montmorillonite, in the bentonites. The results have shown that the organically modified bentonite absorbed 4.5 times more 2,4-D than the unmodified Na–Ca bentonite, which indicates a significantly stronger sorption affinity for the organic cation. This finding suggests that organically modified bentonites may be more effective for the removal of 2,4-D from contaminated soil or water. In the range of pH values between 4 and 6, the sorption sites on the hydrophobic surface of organobentonite proved to have a relatively uniform energy for 2,4-d molecules (Freundlich constant n ≈ 0.8). Hydrophobic interactions were the dominant mechanism for the uptake of 2,4-D at these pH values. The possibility of using HDTMA-bentonite to reduce the mobility of 2,4-D in soils and landscapes or create new formulations should be considered only after a thorough evaluation of the toxic effects of organoclay on nontarget organisms.
