Smectite transformation in high molar KOH solutions

A. Bauer, and B. Velde

Ecole Normale Superieure, Laboratoire de Geologie, Paris, France
BRGM, France

Batch reactor experiments were performed at 35 degrees and 80 degrees C to determine the effect of high molar KOH solutions on the mineralogy and solution chemistry of two different smectites. The Ceca smectite is a nearly pure montmorillonite, and the Ibeco clay has a significant component of 35% beidellitic charge. Each reactor was charged with 1 g of <2 mu m fraction smectite and 80, 160, 240 ml of 0.1-4 M KOH solution. In these experiments, the changes in solution composition and mineralogy were monitored as a function of time. In the experiments, at all temperatures and under all chemical conditions, the smectite appears to change in diffracting domain size, which decreases with time. This probably reflects a change in crystal shape. The structures then become more illite rich and the diffracting domain continues to decrease.
