Role of cation demixing and quasicrystal formation and breakup on the stability of smectitic colloids
چکیده انگلیسی

The Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory has been extensively used to explain colloid stability. This study investigated the effect of demixing of monovalent and divalent cations and crystalline swelling on the breakup and formation of smectite quasicrystals (QCs) and how these processes affect flocculation and dispersion of natural soil clay–humic complexes. The results indicated that in a Ca-dominated system the formation of large QCs enhanced flocculation and that increasing the concentration of Na+, K+, or NH4+ resulted in the breakup of large Ca-QCs, which enhanced dispersion. In low ionic strength systems, dispersion was caused by expanded double layers (DLVO) and the formation of small QCs. X-ray diffraction analyses showed that as large Ca-QCs breakup, monovalent cations resided primarily on the external surfaces and Ca2+ was preferentially retained in the interlayers. In high ionic strength systems increasing concentrations of monovalent cations also decreased the size of QCs but the effect was partially counteracted by compression of double layers between QCs. X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that monovalent cations were sorbed on both the external surfaces and in the interlayers in high ionic strength systems.
