Abstract

The effect of impact and friction milling on the structure and texture of a bentonite, in its natural and in several monoionic forms (H +, Na +, Ca 2+, Al 3+), is studied. An increase of treatment time shows progressive damage to the crystalline structure. The presence of different exchangeable ions does not exert a great influence on the behavior of the mineral. The physicochemical and structural alterations are studied by XRD, DTA, TGA, IR, CEC and swelling index.
