Abstract

Difficulties experienced in the preparation of organo-clay derivatives from an English montmorillonite led to an investigation of its properties. The mineralogical composition, cation-exchange capacity, surface area, and relative particle size, of this and two other montmorillonites, were compared. The results indicated that the large differences which were occasionally found could be attributed to the exchangeable cation on the clay.
