Abstract

A simple method is described for determining the approximate positions of Li+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ in three montmorillonite samples saturated with these cations and subsequently dehydroxylated. The method depends only upon changes in the relative intensity of the three lowest order basal reflections, and its applicability to other problems is illustrated.
