Abstract
The structural and chemical interactions of magadiite with TiO 2 pillars were examined along with arsenic adsorption potential of TiO 2 -pillared magadiite. The interlayer space of magadiite accommodated TiO 2 in the form of moieties rather than discrete particles, which led to a slight increase in interlayer distance and consequently a remarkable formation of micropores (a specific surface area of 270 m 2 /g). High thermal stability up to 800 °C and increased interlayer space were attributed to the formation of Ti–O–Si bonding (966 cm −1 ) between interlayered silanol groups and TiO 2 pillars. TiO 2 -pillared magadiite removed up to 100% of As(V) from aqueous solution at the initial concentrations of 0.5–1.0 mg L −1 . These unique structural and textural evolutions of magadiite upon pillaring with TiO 2 provide new insights to understand the pillaring behaviors of hydrated layered polysilicates and to fabricate pillared materials applicable to arsenate adsorption.
