Polystyrene/montmorillonite (PS/MMT) composite films with high adsorption activity were prepared via solution intercalation technique followed by treatment of composite films in low-pressure air plasma. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to investigate the impact of plasma on the elemental composition and morphology of the composite surface. It was revealed that plasma treatment of the PS/MMT composite led to an increase in wettability and adsorption performance. The removal kinetics of methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions was experimentally studied. It was determined that plasma processing of the composite resulted in a significant improvement of the MB adsorption process: the initial rate of the process increased by 4 times (from 1.2 × 10−8 to 4.8 × 10−8 mol/(g•min)). Adsorption kinetic curves are obeyed the pseudo-second order reaction equation.

聚苯乙烯/蒙脱石复合材料的吸附性能:等离子体处理的影响
通过溶液插层技术制备具有高吸附活性的聚苯乙烯/蒙脱石(PS/MMT)复合膜,然后在低压空气等离子体中处理复合膜。傅里叶变换红外光谱、X 射线光电子能谱和扫描电子显微镜被用来研究等离子体对复合材料表面元素组成和形貌的影响。结果表明,PS/MMT 复合材料的等离子体处理导致润湿性和吸附性能的增加。实验研究了从水溶液中去除亚甲蓝染料的动力学。确定复合材料的等离子体处理导致 MB 吸附过程的显着改进:该过程的初始速率增加了 4 倍(从 1.2 × 10-8至 4.8 × 10 -8 mol/(g•min))。吸附动力学曲线符合准二级反应方程。
