Abstract

Interaction between positively charged Fe-oxyhydroxide (β-FeOOH) particles and negatively charged particles of montmorillonite was studied as a function of particle concentration, pH and time. The results showed that the clay particles appear to bridge between FeOOH particles leading to associations in which the ratio of positive to negative particles varied between 1.4 and 2.56 depending on pH and particle concentrations. The data could be represented by isotherms of interaction of the high affinity type and, together with the interaction kinetics, could be described by Langmuir type formulations.
