IDEAL BEHAVIOR IN Na+-TRACE METAL CATION EXCHANGE ON CAMP BERTEAU MONTMORILLONITE
نویسندگان
چکیده
-The conditions under which an exchanger phase will behave as an ideal mixture are established from thermodynamic principles. It is shown that, if a stoichiometric cation-exchange reaction is reversible, the exchanger phase will exhibit ideal behavior if the Vanselow selectivity coefficient is independent of the exchanger composition. This criterion is applied to some recently published data for Na+-trace metal cation exchange on Camp Berteau montmorillonite. An analysis of the data suggests that, so long as the exchange process is reversible, Na+-trace metal cation exchange produces an exchanger phase that behaves as an ideal mixture. Key Words---Cation Exchange, Heterovalent Exchange, Montmorillonite, Trace Metals

Influence of montmorillonite tactoid size on Na-Ca cation exchange reactions.
The spatial organisation of swelling clay platelets in a suspension depends on the chemical composition of the equilibration solution. Individual clay platelets can be well dispersed, with surfaces entirely in contact with the external solution, or be stacked in tactoids, where part of the surfaces forms parallel alignments embedding interlayer water and cations. External and interlayer surface...
متن کاملMethylene Blue Absorption by Clay Minerals. Determination of Surface Areas and Cation Exchange Capacities (clay-organic Studies Xviii)
Under appropriate conditions, both surface areas and cation exchange capacities of clay minerals can be measured by absorption of methylene blue from aqueous solutions. The method has been applied to two kaolinites, one illite, and one montmorillonite, all initially saturated with Na + ions. For Na-montmorillonite, the total area, internal plus external, is measured. For Ca-montmorillonite, ent...
متن کاملModelling Zn (II) sorption onto clayey sediments using a multi-site ion-exchange model
In environmental studies, we need to be able to predict the behaviour of contaminants in more or less complex physico-chemical contexts. The improvement of this prediction partly depends on establishing thermodynamic models that can describe the behaviour of these contaminants and, in particular, the sorption reactions on mineral surfaces. In this way, based on the mass action law, it is possib...
متن کاملHeavy-metal Uptake by a High Cation-exchange-capacity Montmorillonite: the Role of Permanent Charge Sites
A High Cation Exchange Capacity (HCM) montmorillonite clay has been prepared by acetate treatment of Zenith clay. The HCM has been evaluated for metal-uptake from aqueous solutions. The present data show that the cation exchange sites can play a significant role in the adsorption of metals in smectite clays. A theoretical analysis scheme has been developed which shows that permanent-charge site...

Abstraet---Ethylenediamine (EDA) is adsorbed from aqueous solution on Na-, Kand Li-montmorillonite as the monoprotonated cation (EDAH +) through an ion-exchange process. On washing with distilled water the second amine function is protonated--probably through dissocmtion of water near the clay surface--and simultaneously formed alkali hydroxide is removed. In air-dried clay films, prepared from...
