Four modified montmorillonite adsorbents with varied Al13contents (i.e., Na-Mont, AC-Mont, PAC20-Mont, and Al13-Mont) were synthesized and characterized by N2adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared analyses. The arsenate adsorption performance of the four adsorbents were also investigated to determine the role of intercalated Al13, especially its high purity, high positive charge (+7), and special Keggin structure. With increased Al13content, the physicochemical properties (e.g., surface area, structural uniformity, basal spacing, and pore volume) and adsorption performance of the modified montmorillonites were significantly but disproportionately improved. The adsorption data well fitted the Freundlich and Redlich–Peterson isotherm model, whereas the kinetic data better correlated with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The arsenate sorption mechanism of the montmorillonites changed from physical to chemisorption after intercalation with Al13. Increasing charges of the intercalated ions enhanced the arsenate adsorption kinetics, but had minimal effect on the structural changes of the montmorillonites. The uniform pore structure formed by intercalation with high-purity Al13greatly enhanced the pore diffusion and adsorption rate of arsenate, resulting in the high adsorption performance of Al13-Mont.
