Abstract
⺠Intercalated halloysites with sodium acetate were prepared and characterised by XRD, FTIR, SEM, and specific area evaluation. ⺠The most intercalated sample evidences a proliferation of nanotubes, consequence of unfolding of the curved tubes. ⺠The intercalation products were used for removing copper(II) from aqueous solutions. ⺠The results were discussed as a function of intercalation rate. ⺠The most intercalated solid, i.e., 91%, was found to be very effective as adsorbent.
