Thermogravimetric Investigation Of The Dehydration Kinetics Of Ksf, K10 And Turkish Bentonite, Yalçin Tonbul, Kadi̇r Yurdakoç

The kinetic parameters for the dehydration of bentonite from Turkey, KSF and K10 were determined by using dynamic TG techniques. The Ozawa method is better for the dehydration of the clay samples than the first order equation of Coats and Redfern. The former function calculates consistently higher activation energies than the latter. The mean values of the activation energies in the \\alpha range 0.1-0.7, are 56-66 kJ mol^{-1} in the Ozawa method.
Investigation Of The Microporous And Mesoporous Structures Of The Reşadiye (Tokat/Turkey) Bentonite And Its Fractions, Müşerref Önal, Yüksel Sarikaya, Tülay Alemdaroğlu

It was determined by X-ray diffraction that, besides containing clay minerals such as montmorillonite and illite, the original bentonite contained also clinoptilolite, opal-C, quartz, calcite and dolomite. The original bentonite was separated into four fractions by decantation and precipitation from its aqueous suspension. The adsorption and desorption of nitrogen on the original bentonite and its fractions at 77 K were investigated. The specific surface areas of the samples were determined according to the methods of Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, de Boer-Lippens, and Harkins-Jura by using the adsorption data. The mesopore size distribution curves were plotted by using the desorption data. The specific micropore …
