Abstract

The physical and chemical interactions between organic amines and mineral surfaces are of considerable importance in many industrial applications. For example, the preparation of organophilic minerals often involves the adsorption of organic amines, or the ion exchange of the minerals with quaternary ammonium salts (Jordon, 1951; Miller and Faust, 1972). Chemical interactions occurring in these systems have been studied because of their relevance to an understanding of the chemical nature of the clay surface. A number of these studies have reported on the decomposition of adsorbed amines and alkylammonium-mineral complexes at elevated temperatures, usually in excess of 100°C (Chaussidon and Calvet, 1965; Weiss and Roloff, 1963; Durand, Pellet and Fripiat, 1972; Chou and McAtee, 1969). It is now well established that under these conditions the mineral may have potential strong-acidity, and these reactions have been explained in terms of acid-induced decomposition or rearrangement of the adsorbed amines or their derivatives. However, there have been few studies of the reactions of organo-mineral complexes at temperatures below 100°C, under conditions where retention of adsorbed water could be expected to moderate the mineral surface acidity.
