Abstract

Magnesium only-phyllosilicates such as serpentines (1:1) and stevensite (2:1) do exist in nature but are not abundant in pure form, whereas synthesized materials can ensure higher purity. Clay mineral hydrothermal synthesis is quite easy to perform, however, the condensation reactions leading to the formation of these phyllosilicates and their precursors are not well understood. Such knowledge would allow to predict the synthesis outcome in case of variation of experimental parameters. This study reports a chemical reaction mechanism explaining the parameters that are determining the type of the formed clay mineral. After a detailed characterization of each obtained phase, it is shown that pH has a lower effect compared to Mg to Si molar ratio. Our results show that above pH 10 the mechanisms of lizardite and stevensite formation are similar with the same elementary units, but that the type of material obtained depends on the availability in excess of magnesium (formation of lizardite) or silicon (formation of stevensite).

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...
