The Adsorption of N-Aliphatic Alcohols from Dilute Aqueous Solutions on RNH3-Montmorillonites. Part I. Distribution at Infinite Dilution

  • Published:
Clays and Clay Minerals

Abstract

The adsorption of butanol, hexanol, and octanol on alkylammonium clays of different chain length is studied. The adsorption at infinite dilution compares to the distribution of alcohol between alkane and water in bulk solution. The interlamellar phase of the montmorillonite acts as a solvent even more reactive than carbon tetrachloride. Hydrogen bonds probably occur between the OH group of the alcohol and the NH3+ group. The exchange of water by alcohol on the interlamellar alkylammonium ion is the major factor in the transfer process.

Резюме

Изучалась адсорбция бутанола,гексанола и октанола алкиламмониевы-ми глинами с различной длиной цепи. Адсорбция при бесконечном растворении сравнивается с распределением алкоголя между алкиленом и водой в объемном растворе. Межпластинчатая фаза монтмориллонита действует как растворитель, даже более химически активный,чем четыреххлористый углерод. Водородные связи,возможно,появляются между алкогольной группой ОН и группой NH3+. Замена воды алкоголем в межпластинчатом алкиламмониевом ионе является главным фактором в процессе переноса.Изучалась адсорбция бутанола,гексанола и октанола алкиламмониевы-ми глинами с различной длиной цепи.

Kurzreferat

Die Adsorption von Butanol,Hexanol und Oktanol auf Alkylammo-niumtonerden mit verschiedenen Kettenlängen wurde untersucht. Die Adsorption bei endloser Verdünnung ist mit der Verteilung von Alkohol zwischen Alkan und Wasser in Massenlösungen vergleichbar. Die interlamelare Phase des Montmorilloniten benimmt sich wie ein Lösungsmittel, welches noch reaktiver als Tetrachlorkohlenstoff ist.Wasserstoffbrücken kommen wahrscheinlich zwischen den OH-Gruppen des Alkohols und der NH3+ Gruppen vor.Der Austausch von Wasser durch Alkohol auf den interlamellaren Alkylammoniumionen ist der Hauptfaktor in diesem Übergangsprozeß.

Résumé

L’adsorption de butanol,d’hexanol et d’octanol sur des argiles alkylammonium de longueur de chaines differente est étudiée. L’adsorption à dilution infinie peut être comparée à la distribution d’alcool entre l’alkane et l’eau dans la solution totale. La phase interlamellaire de la montmorillonite se comporte comme un solvant plus réactif encore que le tétrachlorure de carbone. Les liaisons d’hydrogène surviennent sans doute entre le groupe OH de l’alcool et le groupe NH3+. L’échange d’eau par l’alcool sur l’ion interlamellaire alkylammoniumest le facteur majeur dans le processus de transfert.
