Organoclays are excellent sorbents for nonionic contaminants and therefore may have many environmental applications. A major limitation on the use of organoclays is that the contaminant merely changes its location from one environmental compartment to another while still remaining intact. In this study, a new type of organoclay, termed a bifunctional organoclay, has been prepared. It is able not only to sorb organophosphate pesticides, but also to catalyze their hydrolysis, and thereby detoxify them. The bifunctional organoclay prepared in this study is based on sodium montmorillonite, in which the inorganic counter ions are replaced by N-decyl-N,N-dimethy-N-(2-aminoethyl) ammonium (DDMAEA). The detoxifying capacity of this organoclay for two organophosphate pesticides, methyl parathion [0, O-dimethyl O-(p-nitrophenyl) thionophosphate] and tetrachlorvinphos [2-chloro-1-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl) ethenyl dimethyl phosphate], was demonstrated. It was shown that although the sorption of these pesticides on the bifunctional organoclay is very similar to that on N-decyl-N,N,N-trimethyl ammonium (DTMA) organoclay (the corresponding nonbifunctional organoclay), the hydrolysis of these pesticides is substantially enhanced only by the bifunctional organoclay. The half-life for the hydrolysis of the investigated pesticides in the presence of the bifunctional organoclay is about 12 times less than for their spontaneous hydrolysis, and the enhancement is even more pronounced relative to the hydrolysis of these pesticides in the presence of the DTMA organoclay (which actually inhibits their hydrolysis). Based on kinetic measurements, the pKa of the ethylamino group of the bifunctional organoclay was estimated to be around 9.0. It is postulated that the catalytic effect of the bifunctional organoclay can be attributed to a nucleophilic attack of the unprotonated ethylamino group of the organoclay on the organophosphate ester.
