Abstract
Modified bentonite composites (Fe-CTAB modified bentonite) were synthesized by intercalating cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) into the interlayer spaces of raw bentonite, followed by the embedding of iron oxide. The structural and physicochemical characteristics of the modified bentonite were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and zeta potential measurements. Our findings indicated that the modified bentonite exhibited a larger interlayer distance due to the introduction of CTAB, and the surface charge transitioned from negative to positive. The adsorption capacity of the Fe-CTAB modified bentonite for fulvic acid (FA) in an aqueous solution reached 368.4 mg/g, which was an increase of 2150 % compared to raw bentonite. In soil incubation experiments, the soil organic carbon content exhibited a 32.2 % decline in the FA treatment relative to the Fe-CTAB modified bentonite with FA treatment. The higher soil organic carbon sequestration in the treatment combining FA with Fe-CTAB modified bentonite led to increased biomass of crops.

Applied Clay Science aims to be an international journal attracting high quality scientific papers on clays and clay minerals, including research papers, reviews, and technical notes. The journal covers typical subjects of Fundamental and Applied Clay Science such as:
• Synthesis and purification
• Structural, crystallographic and mineralogical properties of clays and clay minerals
• Thermal properties of clays and clay minerals
• Physico-chemical properties including i) surface and interface properties; ii) thermodynamic properties; iii) mechanical properties
• Interaction with water, with polar and apolar molecules
• Colloidal properties and rheology
• Adsorption, Intercalation, Ionic exchange
• Genesis and deposits of clay minerals
• Geology and geochemistry of clays
• Modification of clays and clay minerals properties by thermal and physical treatments
• Modification by chemical treatments with organic and inorganic molecules(organoclays, pillared clays)
• Modification by biological microorganisms. etc...
