Characterization of montmorillonite surfaces after modification by organosilane

Characterization of montmorillonite surfaces after modification by organosilane - Clays and Clay Minerals, 49, p.119-125, 2001 .

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), surface area measurements, and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS)spectroscopy were used to examine the surface properties of organosilane-modified smectite-type aluminosilicate clays. Organic modified clays derived from the reactions of montmorillonite (containing 93-95
