Abstract
Acid sites of clay minerals are active to catalyze numerous organic reactions. Previous studies had focused on the types and strength of these sites by correlating them with acid, pillaring or heat treatments, but the relation of acid sites with clay mineral morphology is not well understood. In this study, the synthesis of samples having similar chemical composition and structure, but different morphology characteristics was realized. The surface of samples was characterized by low-pressure argon adsorption at 77 K. The acid sites were probed by thermal desorption of 2-phenylethylamine. Three sites of different acid strength were identified. Whereas the assignment of these sites to basal and edge surfaces remains debatable, the method of thermal desorption of 2-phenylethylamine could clearly distinguish different sites related to homogenous and heterogeneous surfaces.
期刊介绍:
Applied Clay Science aims to be an international journal attracting high quality scientific papers on clays and clay minerals, including research papers, reviews, and technical notes. The journal covers typical subjects of Fundamental and Applied Clay Science such as:
• Synthesis and purification
• Structural, crystallographic and mineralogical properties of clays and clay minerals
• Thermal properties of clays and clay minerals
• Physico-chemical properties including i) surface and interface properties; ii) thermodynamic properties; iii) mechanical properties
• Interaction with water, with polar and apolar molecules
• Colloidal properties and rheology
• Adsorption, Intercalation, Ionic exchange
• Genesis and deposits of clay minerals
• Geology and geochemistry of clays
• Modification of clays and clay minerals properties by thermal and physical treatments
• Modification by chemical treatments with organic and inorganic molecules(organoclays, pillared clays)
• Modification by biological microorganisms. etc...
