Abstract

A detailed study has been made of the dehydration of sepiolite. This work, together with other studies of dehydration in vacuo and over phosphoric anhydride, rehydration of samples heated to various temperatures, specific surface, water uptake, and x-ray examination of natural and heated samples (to be published later), lead us to certain conclusions regarding types of water in sepiolite. A comparison is made with attapulgite.
