Adsorption of benzidine on montmorillonite (bentonite) particles suspended in aqueous solutions was studied by measuring the absorbance of the solution at 280 nm before and after mixing the two reactants. Benzidine adsorption decreased with an increase of suspension pH from 7 to 9.3. NaCl and calgon (Na‐hexametaphosphate) decreased the adsorption, the latter being more effective at the equivalent concentration. The interaction between benzidine and montmorillonite was connected to cation exchange processes and was influenced by the specific adsorption of the metaphosphate ion on the crystal edges.
