Abstract

The interaction and adsorption of nicotine on acid- and base-saturated illites was studied. The results of conductometric and potentiometric titrations were in agreement with the postulation of three chemically reactive sites in illite. The process of adsorption resulted in discontinuous isotherms with flat plateaux. The extent of adsorption increased with increasing pH. The results of the studies indicated several possible kinds of interactions of nicotine molecules with the chemically reactive spots in the interlayers, outer edges, corners and inner lattices of illite.
