DescriptionWe are going to exchange the sodium in the sodium montmorillonite for an organic cation. The procedures are taken from these two sources (1, 2 along with Karlena Brown's thesis. We are working from the starting point that there are 92 miliequivalents (meq) of Na+ per 100g of montmorillonite.
Exchange of Sodium in Sodium Montmorillonite for an Organic CationToday we began the exchange of sodium in Sodium Montmorillonite (NaMT) for an organic cation. We worked with the assumption that there are 92 milliequivalents (meq) of Na+ per 100g of NaMT.
CalculationsWe wanted to exchange 100% of the Na+ from the clay so we needed to add an equivalent number of moles of tributylhexadecylphosphonium bromide to our NaMT.
