Abstract
The mobility of water molecules in natural natrolite (Na2Al2Si3O10∙2H2O) is investigated by the 1H NMR method. The spin-lattice relaxation times in the laboratory and rotating frames (T1 and T1ρ) are measured as a function of the temperature for a polycrystalline sample. From experimental T1 data it follows that at T > 286 K the diffusion of water molecules along channels parallel to the c axis is observed. From experimental T1ρ data it follows that at T > 250 K the diffusion of water molecules in transversal channels of natrolite is also observed. At a low temperature (T < 250 K) the dipolar interaction with paramagnetic impurities (presumably Fe3+ ions) becomes significant as a relaxation mechanism of 1H nuclei.
