Physical and catalytic characterization of smectites from Boa-Vista, Paraíba, Brazil

Abstract: The original crystalline structure of clay minerals can be altered in a controlled way, through acid or thermal treatments, resulting then in suitable products to be used as catalysts. This paper aims to characterize the red smectite clays of Boa-Vista, Paraíba (Brazil) in their natural form, and after chemical, thermal and acid treatments by X-ray fluorescence, differential thermal analysis, dynamic X-ray diffraction, classic X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption and mo… Show more

“…The surface area of untreated BSN-03 clay is 120m 2 /g. This value is higher than the one obtained by Rodrigues (2003) for the Red Clay, 103m 2 /g. These values indicate that untreated BSN-03 clay has a better adsorption capacity than Red Clay.…”

“…The peaks at 12.12 ∘ and 20.72 ∘ represent the Si-O-Si crystalline layers of the clay [26]. The presence of quartz impurities was also detected at 25.52 ∘ which was confirmed from the results obtained in the literature [27]. After treatment with HCl, the peak intensity of quartz and other minerals in the raw clay was significantly decreased due to the structural disorder that occurred owing to the acid treatment.…”

“…K, Ti, Ca, and F were found as free oxide form (i.e., K 2 O, TiO 2 , CaO, and Fe 2 O 3 ); however Si and Al shaped the major phase of kaolinite as SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 , respectively. The acid treatment induced a significant decrease of Fe 2 O 3 content in purified clay [27]. The further significant decrease of iron content in modified clay resulted due to the presence of strong acid in the modification process.…”

“…The CECs differ from one another by an appreciable amount, and the difference is quite significant when compared to the CEC of the calcined MCM-41. The ion exchange capacity is attributed to structural defects, broken bonds and structural hydroxyl transfers [17] and all these factors have been enhanced by the introduction of Fe(III), Co(II) and Ni(II) into MCM-41 by as much as 24.4, 18.0 and 26.8%, respectively, the order being Ni(II) A Fe(III) A Co(II). This is different from the order of Ni(II) A Co(II) A Fe(III) in which the metal ions have entered into MCM-41.…”
