Cloisite 30B

Cationic surfactants, such as quaternary ammonium cations, have been used, in order to ameliorate the oil sorption capacity of inorganics materials, such as clays. Clays modified with quaternary ammonium cations (organoclays) have better performance in sorption, remove oil and grease from water at seven times the rate of activated carbon, as well as they can be used like perforation fluids of oil wells to the oil base, lubricants, among others industries. This work aims characterize the Cloisite 30B using various techniques: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Specific Surface Area (BET) and Cation Exchange Capacity. Different organic solvents, namely gasoline, diesel and kerosene were used in order to investigate the clays compatibility after orgophilization.

The Town

Used in various branches of the industry, bentonitic clays are considered a valuable mineral, used specially in the petroleum industry for manufacturing of fluids used the drilling of petroleum wells in long depth. Recently, a deposit of this valuable mineral was discovered in the town of Olivedos-PB. There are data that prove that this is a very poor and underdeveloped town. So, this work aims at the physico-mineralogical characterization of clays recently discovered and, this way, verify if they present similar characteristics which allow them to replace the clays from Boa Vista-PB, and if they can be used by the industry, thus bringing social development for that town. The characterization was made by means of the analysis of chemical composition by X-ray fluorescence (EDX), thermogravimetric and thermal differential analyses (TG and DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), cation-exchange capacity (CEC) and specific area (SA). The results show that the clays recently discovered in Olivedos-PB are polycationic clays, presenting MgO, CaO and K2O content, and that they are constituted by smectitic clay mineral, by quartz and kaolinite.

Removal Of Heavy Metals

This paper presents a mineralogical and physicochemical characterization of a Colombian clay found in an area with the greatest exploitation potential of smectites and possible use as an adsorbent for the removal of chromium. The clay was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), cation exchange capacity (CEC), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal analysis (TGA/DSC), and nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The homoionized clay was used as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr(III) in an aqueous solution. The homoionized clay was modified with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA-Br), and the organoclay obtained was evaluated for the adsorption of Cr(VI) in aqueous solution. The XRD analysis showed that the clay from Armero-Guayabal is primarily constituted by smectite (48 wt%) followed by quartz mineral (21 wt%). The chemical analysis of bulk clay showed that the predominant oxides are SiO2 (55.81 wt%), Al2O3 (16.25 wt%), and Fe2O3 (7.51 wt%), and the nitrogen adsorption indicated that the bulk clay has a specific surface area of 45.1 m2/g. Homoionized clay and organoclay achieved Cr(III) and Cr(VI) removals greater than 85.05 ± 2.04% (pH between 3 and 4) and 82.93 ± 1.03% (pH between 3 and 5), respectively, proving the potential of these materials for the removal of heavy metals in an aqueous solution.

High Cation Exchange Capacity

The organoclays contain intercalated organic molecules in their structural layers. The more clay used to prepare organoclays are those derived from the smectite group bentonites mainly due to the small size of crystals and high cation exchange capacity, which facilitate the intercalation of organic compounds. This work aims to obtain organoclays from a mixture of two different quaternary ammonium salts in a 1:1 ratio through the direct method of organophilization. This procedure will be performed using the clay Chocolate from the municipality of Boa Vista, Paraíba state, which has in its composition of smectite clay minerals group. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The testing Foster swelling in a later step, using different organic solvents: gasoline, diesel and kerosene were used to investigate the compatibility clays after modification with the salts.

High-yield syntheses of the bromide (1a) and picrate salts (1b) of the 5-azonia-spiro[4]nonane cation [(CH2)4N(CH2)4]+ are reported. In the single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of the two salts the spirocyclic quaternary ammonium cations have their five-membered rings in envelop and twist conformations modified by packing forces. The conformation found experimentally for 1a has C2-symmetry as predicted for the gas phase by quantum-chemical calculations (RI-DFT, RI-MP2), but the five-membered rings are intermediate between the expected envelop and the twist form. For 1b, both of the two independent cations can be described as a combination of rings in an envelop and a twist conformation. According to the NMR spectra, in solution the cations are highly flexible and pseudosymmetrical (point group D2d)

Aluminum Oxyhydroxide

Natural zeolite of Shivirtui deposit (Russia) was modified with nanofibers of aluminum oxyhydroxide AlOOH. Aluminum oxyhydroxide nanofibers were produced at the heating and oxidation of aluminum powder with water. The properties of modified zeolite were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electronic microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, thermal analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was found that water content in the modified sample of zeolite was about 15 %. Based on the study of the physical and chemical properties, shivirtui zeolite modified with nanofibers of aluminum oxyhydroxide can be proposed for use as a flame-retardant additive to polymers.

Coprecipitation Process

Natural zeolites combined with the magnetic iron oxides are prepared by a chemical coprecipitation process. A detailed characterization of our magnetically modified zeolite (MMZ) is given, including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results reveal that in comparison with Na-zeolite, the structure of MMZ has no obvious change but its surface area increases from 25.13 m2g-1to 100.90 m2g-1. The adsorption properties of MMZ to Pb2+and Cu2+were studied. The results show that the maximum loading capacities for Pb2+and Cu2+in the initial concentration range are 123.74 and 14.633 mg g-1, respectively. The MMZ can be used as an adsorbent for removal of heavy metal ions from industrial effluents or municipal waters, and the saturated adsorbent is separated from the medium by a simple magnetic process.

The Town

The State of Paraíba has gained prominence in the production of raw bentonite in Brazil, where a new deposit has been found in the town of Sossego-PB, besides the deposit in the town of Boa Vista-PB. With the raise in the demand, the traditional reserves are depleting after several years of exploration, and this fact may result in a higher dependence on imported clays, thus existing a great interest in the discovery and characterization of new deposits, also guaranteeing technological improvements for the region. So, the objective of this work is to characterize the new deposits of the State of Paraíba, aiming at analyzing the characteristics the prove their classification as smectitic clays. The characterization was made through the analysis of chemical composition by X-ray fluorescence (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis and thermal differential analyses (TG and DTA), cation-exchange capacity (CEC) and specific area (SA). The results prove that the studied samples presented, in their mineralogical composition, smectite, kaolinite and quartz, besides thermal and chemical behavior typical smectitic clays.

AbstractHydrolytic exchange was performed experimentally on four smectitic clays to evaluate the extent of clay alteration induced by this process and the associated ‘auto-transformation’ of H+ clays. Clay samples were Na-saturated and submitted to 10, 50 and 100 wetting-drying (WD) cycles and characterized after treatment using X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and cation exchange capacity analysis. Evidence for hydrolytic exchange was given by increasing amounts of exchangeable Mg2+ and precipitation of Na soluble salts for samples subjected to 100 WD cycles. Results indicated a decrease in the interlayer charge after 10 WD cycles but no further decrease was observed after 50 and 100 WD cycles. For one sample, XRD data indicated a decrease in the proportion of the smectite phase and a relative increase in the concentration of illite-smectite mixed layers also present in the sample. The results suggested that the reaction induces first a decrease in the layer charge and then a partial dissolution of some smectite layers.
