Inorganic-organic clays were characterised using FTIR and BET methods.
Optimum adsorption conditions for bisphenol-A from water were investigated.
Maximum bisphenol-A adsorption capacity into inorganic-organic clay is 109.89 mg g−1.
Bisphenol-A adsorption is related to the loaded surfactant amount.
Hydrophobic interactions are responsible for bisphenol-A adsorption.
