Abstract

During this study, geopolymers were developed from natural clays, collected in the village of Etigbo in southern Benin. The objective of this research is to evaluate the adsorption potential of modified clay with respect to methylene blue. Several kaolinite-based geopolymers were prepared with different ratios of SiO2 /Al2O 3 and an alkaline activator. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the samples showed amorphous structure favorable for the adsorption of dyes. Adsorption tests were carried out using the geopolymer named Eti24 and different parameters (contact duration, pH effect of pH, initial concentration of the dye, etc.) have been studied to optimize the MB process of removal. Studies of the adsorption kinetics of this dye on the geopolymer were also carried out. The adsorption equilibrium showed that the absorption kinetic is of pseudo-second order and more compatible with Freundlich model. The results revealed that the Eti24 geopolymer can serve as a basis for more sophisticated methods of treating aqueous effluents.
