Chloritization of Montmorillonite by Its Coprecipitation with Magnesium Hydroxide
نویسندگان
چکیده
A magnesium hydroxide-montmorillonite complex prepared at an OH/Mg molar ratio of 2 (16 meq Mg/g clay) and immediately cleaned of any free Mg(OH)2 behaves like magnesium-chlorite and shows no change during 3 months ageing. Magnesium hydroxide completely precipitates within the interlayer space of montmorillonite. X-ray diffraction analysis, thermal (DTA and TGA) studies, i.r. absorption analysis, polarographic reduction behaviour, and cation exchange capacity measurements confirm the transformation of montmorillonite to a chloriteqike structure. Further ageing of the complex results in the release of brucite from the interlayer space and expansion of the compJex on glycerol treatment. X-ray analysis of the 6 months aged sample shows the presence of free brucite but not montmorillonite. A small but significant increase in CEC of the complex is observed on ageing. When the Mg(OH)2-montmorillonite complex is allowed to age in the presence of free Mg(OH)2 (external to montmorillonite unit layers) in a dry state, a "seeding" effect takes place and the "fixed" Mg(OH)z starts coming out from the interlayer space after 10 days.

متن کاملSeparation/preconcentration of trace heavy metals in urine, sediment and dialysis concentrates by coprecipitation with samarium hydroxide for atomic absorption spectrometry.
Multi-element determination of trace elements in urine and dialysis solutions by atomic absorption spectrometry has been investigated. Coprecipitation with samarium hydroxide was used for preconcentration of trace elements and elimination of matrix elements. To 10 ml of each sample was added 500 mul of 2 mgml(-1) samarium solutions; the pH was then adjusted to 12.2 in order to collect trace hea...
متن کاملA multielement masking method using magnesium hydroxide coprecipitation for the selective determination of lead in water samples by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry.
We present a new multielement masking method using magnesium hydroxide coprecipitation for the selective determination of Pb by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). The recovery of Pb in the masking method was over 95%, while interfering ions (Cd(2+), Co(2+), Cu(2+), Fe(3+), Mn(2+), and Ni(2+)) could be removed at 100% from the analytical sample. A linear regression was obta...

Coprecipitation with terbium hydroxide quantitatively recovered trace amounts of chromium(III), copper(II) and lead(II) at pH 8.4 - 10.8, 8.0 - 11.5 and 8.7 - 11.5, respectively. The precipitate was dissolved in 0.85 mol dm(-3) nitric acid, and the analytes were determined by graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS). The presence of terbium (up to 7 g dm(-3)) did not interfere w...
