Abstract
AbstractDifferent montmorillonites (Otay, Chambers, Marnia, Camp Berteau, Moosburg, Greek White, Wyoming bentonite were deferrated with a dithionite/citrate solution; iron sulphide by-products were eliminated with an HCl washing and citrates with an H2O2 oxidation. The smaller CEC after deferration could not be assigned to either (i) the occurrence of a positive correlation between CEC and particle sizes smaller than 0.2 µm or (ii) to the mean charge density of these sub-fractions. All sub-fractions had a heterogeneous interlayer cation density distribution.
