Dissolution of Smectites in Hydrochloric Acid: II. Dissolution Rate as a Function of Crystallochemical Composition

  • Published:
Clays and Clay Minerals

Abstract

A correlation was made of crystallochemical data from 15 smectites with the half time of dissolution (t05) in 6 N hydrochloric acid at 96°C. From this the relation

ln t05 = 3.95 - 1.96 FeVI - 2.30 MgVI

was developed. It shows a remarkable dependence of the apparent dissolution rate of the octahedral layer of the smectites on the substitution of Fe3+ and Mg2+ for Al+3 in the octahedral position.

Резюме

Было проведено изучение корреляционной зависимости между кристалло-химическими данными 15 образцов смектита и половиной времени их растворения (t05) в 6N соляной кислоте при 9б°С. Отсюда было получено следующее соотношение: ln t05=3.95-1.96FeVI-2.30 MgVI. Оно показывает примечательную зависимость удельной скорости растворения октаэдрического слоя смектитов от замещения Al+3 катионами Fe3+ и Mg2+ в октаэдрической позиции.

Kurzreferat

Eine Korrelation kristallchemischer Daten von 15 Smektiten mit den Halbwertszeiten der Auflösung (t05) in 6N HCl bei 96°C wurde aufge-stellt. Daraus wurde die Gleichung: ln t05=3,95-1,96 FeVI-2,30 MgVI abgeleitet. Es zeigte sich eine bemerkenswerte Abhängigkeit der scheinbaren Auflösungsrate der oktahedrischen Schicht der Smektiten von der Substitution von Fe(III) und Mg(II) für Al(III) in der oktahedrischen Position.
