“…This material exhibits a broad range of properties, such as sorption of interlamellar water and polar organic molecules, cation exchange of interlayer sodium cations, intracrystalline swelling, grafting, and transformation into crystalline layered silicic acids by proton exchange [14,15]. Thus, these properties promote the application of Na-magadiite as adsorbents [16], catalysts [17], cation exchangers, or molecular sieves [18]. The interlayer spacing of Na-magadiite, d 001 , changes with water content and exchange sodium ions.…”
