WebFeb 23, 1996 · The swelling of clay minerals on contact with an aqueous solution can produce strong adverse effects in the exploration and production of gas and oil. … WebJun 22, 2006 · Microscopic simulation of structure and dynamics of water and counterions in a monohydrated montmorillonite. Models of swelling clays are studied by computer simulations (Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics). We focus on the comparison of structural and dynamic properties of two montmorillonites with….
Early stage of swelling process of dehydrated montmorillonite …
WebFrom swelling and surface area measurements, it was found that the swelling of a montmorillonite depends linearly on the fraction of its layers that fully expand in water and that this fraction, in turn, depends linearly on the b dimension of the unit cell. Therefore, swelling is a linear function of the b dimension. However, the specific surface area of a … WebMonte Carlo simulations were used to study the mechanism of swelling of sodium-montmorillonite. The simulations showed that the abundant clay mineral has four stable … gaby cap

Webwater/Na-montmorillonite system (Norrish, 1954; Fukushima, 1984), deviation of the calculated from the observed values becomes larger with increasing C. This deviation is due to the heterogeneity in the mixtures and the disarray in the layer stacking (Fukushima, 1984). Driving forces of swelling Web4 humidity 13–15, salinity of clay dispersion,16,17 or by adding the wanted amount of water.18 For Na- spacings are found with Li+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ as counterions. K+ and Cs+ give quite different basal spacings, presumably because of their larger sizes and weaker tendency to hydrate. In the case of the KBS-3 nuclear waste storage, the montmorillonite … Webmontmorillonite, any of a group of clay minerals and their chemical varieties that swell in water and possess high cation-exchange capacities.
