Abstract

Isotherms and heats of adsorption of water, n-heptane, trimethylamine, and methanol (at 303 K) vapors and isotherms of adsorption of nitrogen (at 77 K) on the lamellar silica prepared by removing metals from natural mineral vermiculate were measured. The surface concentration of adsorption sites and their energetic characteristics were found to be similar to those of ordinary silicas. The distinction of the lamellar silica from ordinary silicas manifests itself through extended desorption branches, a feature that makes it possible to classify the lamellar silica under study as a limitedly swellable sorbent.
