Formation of Polymeric Species in the Interlayer of Bentonite
نویسنده
چکیده
-Infrared spectroscopic, X-ray powder diffraction, diffuse reflectance, and electron-spin resonance examination of homoionic bentonite from Sardinia treated with diazomethane indicates that polymethylene was formed in the interlayer position. Polymerization can be attributed to the acidic properties of the residual water in the interlamellar space, depending on the nature of the exchanged ion. The presence of an interlayer polymer causes the clay to assume strong hydrophobic properties. Key Words---Bentonite, Hydrophobic, Infrared spectroscopy, Interlayer, Polymerization.

Free porosity investigation of compacted bentonite using XRD
Many countries intend to use compacted bentonite as a barrier in their deep geological repositories for nuclear waste. In order to describe and predict hydraulic conductivity or radionuclide transport through the bentonite barrier, fundamental understanding of the microstructure of compacted bentonite is needed. This study examined the interlayer swelling and overall microstructure of Wyoming B...

A hydrophobic-bentonite catalyst (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide-bentonite) has been used as a very mild, neutral, eco-friendly, reusable, non-toxic, low-cost and easily available catalyst. It was prepared by replacing the exchangeable Na+ cations of a homoionic Na–bentonite with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTMAB) cations. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, BET and SEM. The...
