New Occurrences

The State of Paraíba has large reserves of bentonite clays, mainly in the District of Boa Vista. New occurrences were recently discovered in the Districts of Pedra Lavrada and Cubatí, Paraíba, Brazil, creating great expectations for further expansion of reserves for industrial production. The use of nonionic surfactants is replacing the traditional ionic surfactants, among others, by its high resistance potential to thermal degradation. The objective is the development organoclays from Pedra Lavrada District PB, Brazil, clays, by adding non-ionic surfactants. The bentonites were organofilized and then characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (TGA and DTA) and Foster swelling, seeking the most appropriate choice of surfactants to the diesel organic dispersing medium. The results showed that incorporation of surfactants used in the clay interlayer spacing increased significantly.

This work aims at the development of organoclay from two varieties of bentonite for use in organic media using ionic surfactants, studying the influence of process variables in the organophilization process. We used the following materials: natural bentonite clay from Cubati-PB District, and the ionic quaternary ammonium salt: Praepagen WB® with 45% active matter. The clays were benefited and then turned into sodium form and subsequently into organoclays. The bentonites were characterized by laser diffraction (GA) X-ray fluorescence chemical composition (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermogravimetry (DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The organoclays were characterized by (XRD) thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermogravimetry (DTA). The results showed that the clay has potential for application in the organophilization process and that there is influence of process variables.

Bentonite clays, after treated with surfactants, are called organofilic clays. The objective of this work is the development of organofilic clays, using ionic surfactants, based on a variety of smectite from Cubati, PB, for application in organic media. The following materials were used: Superior Gray bentonite clay from the town of Cubati, PB, Brazil, and the ionic surfactants Praepagen WB® and Praepagen HY®. The clay was characterized with basis on the granulometric analysis by laser diffraction (AG), chemical composition by X-ray fluorescence (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and thermal differential (DTA). The clay was processed and then turned into sodic and later into organofilic clays. The results prove that there was intercalation of the ionic surfactant into the clay fraction, and that the process variables did not affect the organofilization process, but the surfactant type has influence on the process.

Bentonite Clays

The organoclays are derived from bentonite clays treated in aqueous solution with surfactants, which are incorporated into the interlayer surface of clays, covering them with an organic layer; so, the naturally hydrophilic clay becomes hydrophobic. This paper proposes a study to find the dispersant media (diesel, paraffin or ester) which is more suitable for use in fluids, using the bentonite clay Cloisite Na +, treated with ionic surfactants Praepagen HY and Praepagen WB. The organoclay obtained was characterized by X-ray diffraction, and we measured the apparent viscosity and plastic dispersions. We observed the importance of the type of surfactant and dispersant amid to obtain organoclays for non-aqueous drilling fluids with the dispersants that meet existing specifications for drilling oil wells.

AbstractPeriodic 2-dimensional (2-D) hexagonal and the disordered pore structure silica films have been developed using nonionic surfactants as the templates. The pore structure was controlled by the static electrical interaction between the micelle of the surfactant and the silica oligomer. No X-ray diffraction peaks were observed for the disordered mesoporous silica films, while the pore diameters of 2.0-4.0 nm could be measured by small angle X-ray scattering spectroscopy. By comparing the properties of the 2-D hexagonal and the disordered porous silica films which have the same porosity, it is found that the disordered porous silica film has advantages in terms of the dielectric constant and Young's modulus as well as the hardness. The disordered porous silica film is more suitable for the interlayer dielectrics for ULSI.

Organophilic Montmorillonite

A novel method is proposed to modify montmorillonite with anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and halides stearyl cationic surfactants made by our group (Z-surfactant). The structure of organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT) was characterized by XRD and TG. The results of X-ray diffraction show that cationic surfactants and anionic surfactants are all intercalated into the layer of MMT. When modified with cationic surfactants, the interlayer spacing of MMT increases from 1.24 nm to the maximum of 3.76 nm. When it was secondary modified, the insertion order is to insert the cation first and then the anion. The interlayer spacing of montmorillonite increases to 4.80 nm, the modification effect is well.

New bentonite clay deposits have recently been discovered in the state of Paraíba, mainly in the municipalities of Cubati and Pedra Lavrada, creating great expectations in view of the possibility of expanding industrial production using these new reserves. The aim of this study was to study the new occurrences of bentonite clay in Paraíba, particularly in the municipality of Pedra Lavrada, for use in water based drilling fluids. The mineralogical properties of the clays were characterized by particle size analysis using laser diffraction, and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, and its chemical composition was analyzed by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, cation exchange capacity and specific surface area. The bentonite clays were treated with sodium carbonate at concentrations of 75, 100, 125, 150 and 175mEq/100g of dry clay, to transform them from polycationic to sodium form. For the technological characterization, drilling fluids were prepared according to the standards of Petrobras. The results indicated that the mineralogical composition of the samples consisted of montmorillonite, kaolinite and quartz. As for their rheological properties, the samples were found to partially meet the rheological requirements of the Petrobras standard.

Stacking Disorder

Graphite has been oxidized to graphite hydrogensulfate with (NH4)2S2Og in concentrated H2SO4. The stage 2 compound formed very rapidly, but further oxidation to stage 1 could be followed conveniently. X-ray diffraction of the intermediate phases showed nonintegral (00l)-reflections indicative of partial interstratification disorder. The interlayer spacing of the stage 1 compound increased with continued oxidation. The degree of oxidation as function of oxidation time has been determined from the position of the minima in the reflectance spectra. The density of the compounds and the ratio of acid molecules to anions in the intercalated layers has been estimated using these data and those of buoyancy measurements. There is a minimum in packing density early in the formation of the first stage. The kinetics of intercalation seems to be first order with respect to the free interlayer spaces.

Bentonite Clays

The State of Paraíba, Brazil, retains about 88.5% of all Brazilian bentonite, and much of this production comes from deposits in the District of Boa Vista, PB. Nevertheless, the deposits are almost depleted. Recently, new deposits were found, which will increases the reserves of the State, in the regions of Cubati and Pedra Lavrada, PB. The objective of this work is to characterize and develop purified clays, through sieving and hydrocycloning techniques, from those recently discovered bentonites for several applications. The characterization of the sample was done through granulometric analysis by laser diffraction, X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis by X-ray fluorescence, and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. The results show that the samples are typical of bentonite clays, and that the purification solely by hydrocyclone presents the best results.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), an inorganic-layered material similar to structure of graphite, was randomly dispersed onto the surface of functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes to synthesized nanocomposite MoS2/CNT. The as-obtained product was characterized via SEM, TEM, TGA, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopies. It was confirmed from XRD that MoS2 layers with interlayer spacing of 0.614 nm were successfully produced. TEM images and Raman spectra indicated a random distribution of 20 nm sized nanoflake MoS2 on the surface of MWNTs. The electrochemical performance of materials are expected to pave the way for the utilized anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Bentonite Clays

Bentonites are the most used fillers in the development of nanocomposites, due to their characteristics that provide nanosized particles, contributing to a large contact area between the clay and the polymer. In general, the additions of small amounts of organoclay improve the mechanical and thermal properties of nanocomposites. Bentonite clays and organoclays were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetry (TG). The results of XRF, XRD and FTIR confirmed the presence of quaternary ammonium salt in the organoclay structure. From TG, it was observed that the organoclay showed better thermal stability when compared with bentonite clay.
