The Use of Clay-Polymer Nanocomposites in Wastewater Pretreatment
Figure 1
Schematic structure of (a) a single block and connected blocks of sepiolite. The 2 nm size bar is given as a relative dimension; (b) poly-DADMAC monomer molecule; (c) low-charge nanocomposite suitable for winery effluents. The ribbons illustrate the polymer chains with positive charges distributed throughout; (d) high-charge nanocomposite suitable for olive mill effluents.
