Porous silica-based anode materials with high theoretical specific capacity and abundant reserves have attracted popular attention for application in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, poor electrochemical conductivity and mechanical performance hinder the development of silica-based anode materials. In this work, attapulgite/multi-walled carbon nanotube (AT/CNT) composite anode materials were prepared. The structural features of AT/CNT composite aerogels were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). because of the excellent conductivity and porous pathways of AT/CNT anode material, the reversible specific capacity of AT/CNTs containing 0.5 wt.% CNTs (AT-0.5) with a mass loading of 0.67 mg cm −2 was 303.6 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 after 50 cycles, and a coulombic efficiency of AT-0.5 was 99.1%. The green LEDs were lit by the assembled battery of AT-0.5. The electrochemical results demonstrated that AT/CNT anode materials possessed practical application values for energy storage. Moreover, the preparation method of AT/CNT anode materials is efficient and environmentally friendly.

The use of attapulgite (ATP)-based materials for adsorption of pollutants from water and wastewater has received growing attention. However, recovering ATP-based adsorbents remains a challenge. In this study, a magnetic adsorbent ATP/CoFe2O4with high tannic acid (TA) adsorptive capacity was fabricated via a facile co-precipitation approach and was well characterized. The loaded CoFe2O4particles were embedded into the adsorbent surfaces to allow magnetic separability. For this material, its TA adsorption kinetics, isotherm behavior, and magnetic separation efficiency are reported. The developed magnetic composites had rapid sorption kinetics of 3 h, high sorption capacity of 109.36 mg/g, and good magnetic separation efficiency of 80%. The used ATP/CoFe2O4was successfully regenerated by NaOH and reused five times without a substantial reduction in TA removal and magnetic performance. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding formation and surface complexation were identified as the sorption mechanisms of TA by ATP/CoFe2O4.Keywords:attapulgite;adsorption;CoFe2O4magnetic nanoparticle;tannic acid

A novel and environmentally friendly attapulgite-based aerogel with a three-dimensional fibrillary network structure was prepared by incorporation of nanometer-sized natural clay crystals, in this case attapulgite (ATP), into degradable poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), cotton cellulose nanowhisker, and melamine using only a simple blending method and subsequently a freeze-drying process. The ATP-based aerogel exhibits an abundant porosity with an average mesopore size of 8.0 nm in diameter. Compared to fragile and rigid inorganic aerogels, the as-prepared aerogel shows good flexibility and mechanical strength with a compressive strength of 9.65 × 10 4 Pa and 10.19 × 10 4 Pa at 20% and 40% of compressive strain, respectively. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) and vertical flame tests show that the resulting aerogel possesses excellent flame retardancy, with an LOI of 59.5%. Microcalorimetry test results show that the total heat release of the aerogel is as low as 5.1 KJ/g. Also, the sample shows a better thermal insulation property, with a thermal conductivity of about 0.045 W m −1 K −1 in air. Taking advantage of a simple and environmentally friendly fabrication, abundant natural clay resources, easy scalability, nearly no pollution emission in the process, and cost-efficient production, the ATP-based aerogel has great potential as ideal flame retardant and thermal insulation materials for many applications such as modern building construction or energy-efficient coatings. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel intercalation structure g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst is successfully fabricated by eutectic technique and calcination method, it shows a better degradation efficiency to tetracycline under the visible light. Moreover, the as-prepared photocatalysts are characterized by a series of means, such as PL, FL spectra, EIS, ESR etc. The improved photocatalytic performance could be attributed to the intercalation effect and conductivity of attapulgite (ATP), which enhanced the optical absorption and separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-holes (decay lifetime is 4.3 ns). Moreover, radical trapping experiments and ESR measurement indicated the superoxide radical and photogenerated holes are the major activity species on removing tetracycline in g-C 3 N 4 @ATP. The degradation mechanism and the degradation intermediate products are proposed to better understand the reaction process. Additionally, the work provides a new insight for constructing other high performance, low-cost and intercalation structure photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

Nanocomposites of attapulgite (ATT)/ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) were prepared with organically modified ATT covering in EVA. Organically modified ATT was prepared using KH550 and organic acid. The effect of nano-hybrid on the flow behavior of model oil containing 15 wt% wax was evaluated. The wax crystallization and crystal morphology of the model oil at low temperature were observed by polarizing optical microscopy (POM). The results indicated that the nano-hybrid with long-chain organic acid-modified ATT exhibited a better effect compared with the nano-hybrid with short-chain organic acid-modified ATT, pure EVA. In addition, it is interesting to note that EVA (VA = 32%)/stearic acid-modified ATT composite polymeric pour-point depressant (PPD) S-AtPPD(32) provided better cold-flow improvement for the model oil than EVA (VA = 32%)-modified nano-SiO2 composite PPD N-SiPPD (32) with a low dose, which resulted in a regular, bar-shaped, and uniform arrangement of wax morphologies. The pour point of the model oil was reduced from 30°C to −1°C when doped at 200 ppm S-AtPPD(32).

The effect of dendrimer-like polyamidoamine grafted attapulgite (ATP-PAMAM) on the microstructure and morphology of Nylon-6 (PA6) was investigated. The ATP-PAMAM nanoparticles were prepared by treating attapulgite (ATP) with heat and acid followed by grafting with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) molecules, which was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and dispersion state in formic acid. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis result indicated that the grafting modification was occurred on the surface of fibrous crystals and did not shift the crystal structure of ATP. PA6/ATP-PAMAM (G 2.0 ) nanocomposites with different modified ATP content were prepared by melt compounding in a twin screw extruder. XRD measurements suggested that the intensity of diffraction peak of α crystalline form of PA6 decreased gradually as the inclusion of ATP-PAMAM(G 2.0 ) into the PA6 matrix, while that of γ crystalline form increased gradually. The results of molau experiment and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation showed not only a uniform dispersion of ATP-PAMAM(G 2.0 ) in the PA6 matrix but also a strong interfacial adhesion between them. Mechanical investigation (by tensile test) showed an obvious improvement in the presence of surface modified ATP. POLYM. COMPOS., 35:627–635, 2014. © 2013 Society of Plastics Engineers

Multifunctional biodegradable packaging films with antibacterial and antioxidant properties are highly desirable for food preservation. In this study, multifunctional bioactive chitosan-based composite films were fabricated for loquat preservation after incorporation of licorice flavonoids/ZnO/attapulgite (LF/ZnO/APT) nanocomposites, which were prepared by anchoring ZnO nanoparticles on the surface of attapulgite followed by mechanochemical-assisted loading of licorice flavonoids. The structure and physicochemical properties of composite films were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, etc., while the effects of the added amount of LF/ZnO/APT nanocomposites on the mechanical, antibacterial and antioxidant performances of composite films were investigated. The results indicated that introduction of LF/ZnO/APT nanocomposites obviously enhanced the mechanical properties and antibacterial ratios against Escherichia coli (97.04 ± 2.08%) and Staphylococcus aureus (98.68 ± 1.10%) of composite films. Moreover, the composite films also exhibited excellent scavenging capacities against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and hydroxyl radicals. Therefore, the as-prepared composite films significantly extended the shelf life of loquats, and it is feasible to be served as promising active food packaging materials based on component synergistic effect of composite films.

OA-AP, DTAB-AP, DDBAB-AP complexes were synthesized by introducing surfactants of OA, DTAB and DDBAB into attapulgite (AP). The complexes were systematically characterized. The appearance of new diffraction peaks at low angle indicated a new lamellar structure of OA (DTAB, DDBAB)-AP complexes. Then, the pesticide avermectin (AV) composites of AV/DTAB-OA-AP, AV/DDBAB-OA-AP, sodium alginate (SA) @AV/DTAB-OA-AP and SA@AV/DDBAB-OA-AP were prepared and investigated detailedly. The basal spacings of AV/DTAB-OA-AP and AV/DDBAB-OA-AP were bigger than those of OA-AP and DTAB(DDBAB)-AP. The existences of AV, surfactants and SA molecules of the composites were further confirmed. Furthermore the effect of SA on AV release behaviors of SA@AV/DTAB (DDBAB)-OA-AP microspheres was investigated and compared. Compared to AV/DTAB (DDBAB)-OA-AP, the released rate of the microspheres decreased remarkably. The AV release behaviors of AV/DTAB (DDBAB)-OA-AP could be fitted with pseudo second-order model, while the first-order model was better to describe those of the microspheres. Finally, the bioassay of the microspheres were studied and analyzed. The microspheres had a longer duration and control effect on Mythimna separata . This study could be helpful to provide a pesticide delivery system to improve the utilization efficiency of pesticides.

In order to fulfill people's requirements for food quality and safety, it is a promising strategy to develop intelligent biodegradable food packaging materials. Herein, honeysuckle extracts/attapulgite/chitosan composite films containing natural carbon dots were fabricated for intelligent food packaging. Different characterization techniques were employed to study the obtained composite films, while the physicochemical properties, optical properties, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of composite films were determined. The obtained composite films presented good mechanical, antibacterial and antioxidant properties, and the antibacterial ratios of composite films against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were 99.27 ± 0.18 % and 98.85 ± 0.65 %, respectively. When the added amount of honeysuckle extracts/attapulgite nanocomposites was 4.76 %, the tensile strength and elongation at break of composite films reached 24.9 ± 2.35 MPa and 64.8 ± 2.11 %, respectively, which were obviously higher than that of pure chitosan film. Furthermore, the composite films exhibited excellent UV shielding and blue fluorescence properties, as well as pH-sensitivity due to the presence of caffeoquinic acid-based natural carbon dots derived from honeysuckle extract. Therefore, the composite films indicated a potential application for intelligent food packaging.

Attapulgite (or palygorskite) is a magnesium aluminium phyllosilicate . Modified attapulgite-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) was created by a liquid-phase reduction method and then applied for nitrate-nitrogen (NO 3 -N) removal (transformation) in simulated groundwater. Nanoscale zero-valent iron was sufficiently dispersed on the surface of thermally modified attapulgite. The NO 3 -N removal efficiency reached up to approximately 83.8% with an initial pH values of 7.0. The corresponding thermally modified attapulgite-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (TATP-NZVI) and NO 3 -N concentrations were 2.0 g/L and 20 mg/L respectively. Moreover, 72.1% of the water column NO 3 -N was converted to ammonium-nitrogen (NH 4 -N) within 6 h. The influence of environmental boundary conditions including dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, light illumination and water temperature on NO 3 -N removal was also investigated with batch experiments. The results indicated that the DO concentration greatly impacted on NO 3 -N removal in the TATP-NZVI-contained solution, and the NO 3 -N removal efficiencies were 58.5% and 83.3% with the corresponding DO concentrations of 9.0 and 0.3 mg/L after 6 h of treatment, respectively. Compared to DO concentrations, no significant (p > 0.05) effect of light illumination on NO 3 -N removal and NH 4 -N generation was detected. The water temperature also has great importance concerning NO 3 -N reduction, and the removal efficiency of NO 3 -N at 25 °C was 1.25 times than that at 15 °C. For groundwater, therefore, environmental factors such as water temperature, anaerobic conditions and darkness could influence the NO 3 -N removal efficiency when TATP-NZVI is present. This study also demonstrated that TATP-NZVI has the potential to be developed as a suitable material for direct remediation of NO 3 -N-contaminated groundwater.

Construction of hierarchical architecture with suitable band alignment for graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) played a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency of photocatalysts. In this study, a novel attapulgite-intercalated g-C 3 N 4 /ZnIn 2 S 4 nanocomposite material (ZIS/CN/ATP, abbreviated as ZCA) was successfully synthesized using the freeze-drying technique, thermal polymerization, and a simple low-temperature hydrothermal method. Attapulgite (ATP) was intercalated into g-C 3 N 4 to effectively regulate its interlayer structure. The results reveal a substantial enlargement of its internal space, thereby facilitating the provision of additional active sites for improved dispersibility of ZnIn 2 S 4 . Notably, the optimized photocatalyst, comprising a mass ratio of ATP, g-C 3 N 4 , and ZnIn 2 S 4 at 1:1:2.5 respectively, achieves an outstanding hydrogen evolution rate of 3906.15 μmol g −1 h −1 , without the need for a Pt co-catalyst. This rate surpasses that of pristine g-C 3 N 4 by a factor of 475 and ZnIn 2 S 4 by a factor of 5, representing a significant improvement in performance. This significant enhancement can be primarily attributed to the higher specific surface area, richer active sites, broadened light response range, and efficient interfacial charge transfer channels of the ZCA composite photocatalyst. Furthermore, the Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism for the sandwich-like layered structure heterojunction was thoroughly investigated using diverse characterization techniques. This work offers new insights for enhancing photocatalytic performance through the expanded utilization of natural minerals, paving the way for future advancements in this field.
