Textural and Structural Modification of Homo-Ionic Montmorillonite

The textural and structural modifications of calcium bentonite (CaB) induced by ion exchange, heat treatment and acid leaching were studied by infrared spectroscopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption/desorption methods. The cation-exchange capacities (CEC) and the spont...
