Abstract
AbstractAerogels of clays can be prepared by freeze-drying of clay water gels. The mechanical strength of the aerogels is improved by the addition of water-soluble polyelectrolytes to the hydrogels.The porosity of the powdered aerogels can be adapted to the requirements for adsorbents in gas chromatography by compounding the hydrogels with suitable amounts of polyelectrolytes. Simultaneously, the surface of the clay may be modified by adsorption of polar or cationic organic compounds in order to achieve specific chromatographic separations.Because of the toughness of the clay-polyelectrolyte aerogels, they can be rolled out to thin sheets which may be applied as chromatographic papers.
