Abstract

Separate montmorillonite suspensions were treated with CrCl3 to give seven Cr(III) concentrations. Each suspension was then titrated with 0.1 N NaOH to give a NaOH/Cr3+ molar ratio of 2.5. Montmorillonite was an effective sorbent for hydroxy-Cr species up to 1200 cmol(+)/kg; above that concentration, sorption continued, though less efficiently. However, N2-BET specific surfaces and cation exchange capacity measurements indicated that the montmorillonite could sorb significantly more than 1200 cmol(+)/kg. There was virtually no exchangeable Cr in any of the clays, suggesting that this element was covalently bonded to the siloxane surface. Infrared spectroscopy revealed a vibration at 1015–1020 cm–1 in the Cr clays which was not present in the control. This new absorption band was attributed to an attenuation of the Si–O a11 vibration caused by inner-sphere complexation of the interlayer Cr with the siloxane oxygen. Because Cr was strongly held and efficiently sorbed, montmorillonite was shown to be an effective sorbent for hydroxy-Cr polymers.
