Abstract

Surfactant adsorption by two montmorillonite types with different interlayer cations of Ca and Na was characterized by examining the time dependence of surfactant behavior on the clay surfaces. Surfactants with different micelle concentration were conducted in our experiment to observe a nonequilibrium activity of cationic surfactant on the clay over reaction periods ranging from 0.1 min to 11 days. As compared with Ca-montmorillonite (SAz), a more active intrusion of surfactant molecules into the interlayers was found in Na-montmorillonite (SWy). During a short 'initiation' stage, the basal spacing of SWy montmorillonite increased rapidly with logarithmic time. For SAz montmorillonite, however, the abrupt basal spacing increase occurred at the later stage of the reaction. From the result, the difference in the adsorption behavior exhibited by the two montmorillonite types partly results from their intrinsic nature, that is, inorganic cations originally existing on the clay surfaces. Additionally, the micelle concentration of surfactants affects the development of organo-montmorillonite, especially, in the intercalant formation and stabilization under nonequilibrium.

층간 양이은종이 다른 두 종류의 몬모릴로나이트에 대한 계면활성제의 흡착을 통해 몬모릴로나이트 표면에서 흡착거동하는 계면활성제의 시간적인 변화를 관찰하였다. 계면활성제의 미셀 농도를 다르게 하여 시간이 경과(0.1분~11일)함에 따라 몬모릴로나이트에 대한 계면활성제의 비평형 활동성을 관찰하였다. N몬모릴로나이트(SWy)는 Ca-몬모릴로나이트(Shz)와 비교했을 때 계면활성제가 몬모릴로나이트 충간에 보다 활동적으로 침투 및 흡착하였다. SWy의 층간간격은 반응초기부터 시간이 경과함에 따라 급격히 팽창하였지만, SAz의 경우에서는 반응 후반기에만 층간간격이 현저히 팽창되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 두 몬모릴로나이트의 서로 다른 평창특성은 부분적으로 자신들의 본질, 즉 몬모릴로나이트 내에 존재하는 무기양 이온들의 영향 때문인 것으로 보인다. 또한, 계면활성제의 미셀 농도는 유기-몬모릴로나이트의 발달, 즉 비평형 상태에서의 유기점토복합체 형성과 안정에 큰 영향을 끼치는 것으로 보인다.
