AbstractThis article describes how selectively anionic organic molecules could be removed from aqueous medium using naturally available gypsum (GS) adsorbent. Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) shows strong interactions with anionic dye molecules while it dos not show any affinity towards cationic dye molecules. We have shown the removal efficiency of gypsum taking chlorazole yellow (anionic dye) and methylene blue (cationic dye) as examples of adsorbates. The GS has been to be even more effective than activated carbon in attaining chlorazole yellow (CY) removal. Three well-known kinetic equations e.g. pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second order and intraparticle diffusion were exploited to interpret the experimental data. Results show best fitting with second order kinetic process with excellent regression coefficient (r2 = 0.99) for the adsorption process. The equilibrium data were analyzed exploiting some adsorption isotherm models. It was apparent that the Freundlich isotherm model superbly fitted for CY dye adsorption process. And the maximum adsorption capacity, Qm, was obtained as 12.85 mg g−1 at room temperature. The negative values of Gibb’s free energy change (ΔGo) suggests that the CY dye molecule adsorption process is spontaneous in nature. Moreover, negative enthalpy change (ΔHo) indicates the exothermic nature of the adsorption process. The outcome could be exploited where anionic organic molecules are required to be separated, selectively.

Experimental clay mineral-organic molecule complexes long have been known and some of them have been extensively studied by X-ray diffraction methods. The organic molecules are adsorbed onto the surfaces of the clay minerals, or intercalated between the silicate layers. Natural organo-clays also are widely recognized but generally have not been well characterized. Widely used techniques for clay mineral identification involve treatment of the sample with H2 O2 or other oxidant to destroy any associated organics. This generally simplifies and intensifies the XRD pattern of the clay residue, but helps little with the characterization of the original organoclay. Adequate techniques for the direct observation of synthetic and naturally occurring organoclays are yet to be developed.

The quantitative use of electron diffraction intensity data for the determination of crystal structures represents the pioneering achievement in the electron crystallography of organic molecules, an effort largely begun by B. K. Vainshtein and his co-workers. However, despite numerous representative structure analyses yielding results consistent with X-ray determination, this entire effort was viewed with considerable mistrust by many crystallographers. This was no doubt due to the rather high crystallographic R-factors reported for some structures and, more importantly, the failure to convince many skeptics that the measured intensity data were adequate for ab initio structure determinations.We have recently demonstrated the utility of these data sets for structure analyses by direct phase determination based on the probabilistic estimate of three- and four-phase structure invariant sums. Examples include the structure of diketopiperazine using Vainshtein's 3D data, a similar 3D analysis of the room temperature structure of thiourea, and a zonal determination of the urea structure, the latter also based on data collected by the Moscow group.
