Clay minerals are natural hydrous aluminosilicate and possess a layered silicate structure that can be found in a number of soils. Montmorillonite (MMT) is one of the clay minerals have a surface area of 191 m²g.¹ and has been used as a catalyst and adsorbent. However, their efficient use is limited...
