Influence of Exchanged Surfactant on the Structure and Adsorption Properties of Brazilian Green Mud Clay

Abstract:

This work presents an experimental study focusing on the preparation and characterization of modified natural green clay-mud with quaternary ammonium salts of chloride and alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (Dodigen) and dimethyl stearyl ammonium chloride (Praepagen). X ray Diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and expansion tests (adsorption capacity and Foster swelling) measurements were performed in order to evaluate the performance of the ion exchange reactions and the degree of affinity with oil products. It is observed an increasing in the XRD basal spacing of the modified clays (1.96 nm and 2.25 nm for Praepagen and Dodigen salts, respectively) in comparison to the observed value (1.56 nm) for the natural clay. The IR results showed that salts were successfully incorporated to natural clay structure. Based on the expansion tests the organoclays presented the best efficiency independent on the kind of solvent used in comparison with the natural clay performance.
