  Abstract: Water is a vital source of human life, but it has frequently been polluted by mono and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, usually from petrochemicals in petroleum industrial effluents as well as other anthropogenic activities. This study investigate the potential of montmorillonite intercalated HDTMAand TMPA cations for effective removal of five (5) different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) namely: naphthalene, anthracene, chrysene,benzo(a)pyrene and benzo(g,h,i) perylene in aqueous medium. To research PAH adsorption behaviour …
