Adsorption is one of the prominent separation techniques used in the treatment of wastewaters containing soluble organics. Activated carbon has been employed almost exclusively in adsorbing the 129 "priority pollutants", as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), from water and wastewater. Synthetic resins have recently begun to receive attention, but are derived from energy related sources, as is activated carbon. A few clays have been considered for use as adsorbents, but in nearly all cases the clays were used in their natural state. This research has explored the addition of the chloride salts of propylamine, dodecylamine, and dodecyldiamine to sodium montmorillonite (a smectite) in an attempt to im­ prove its adsorptive capacity for removing organics from water and waste­ water. X-ray diffraction analysis, differential thermal and thermogravimetric analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, were used to determine the interaction between montmorillonite and the alkylammonium salts. Replacement of exchangeable cations on the interlamellar surface of montmorillonite with alkylammonium ions has been shown by several researchers to permit ready intercalation of a wide variety of polar and nonpolar organic species. Adsorption isotherms con­ ducted with acetaldehyde, acetone, benzene, butanol, chloroform, dimethyIphthalate, hexanol, nitrobenzene, octanol, phenol, and toluene as the solutes showed some indication of intercalation of these eleven organic compounds. Intercalation of these compounds at low organic solution con­ centrations, 100 and 1,000 milligrams per liter, was found within the
