Delamination of Kaolinite by Intercalation of Urea Using Milling

The effect of milling on structure of kaolinite-urea intercalates were studied. Untreated and treated kaolinite samples were examined by Field scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The basal spacing of kaolinite mea...

Zusammenfassung:The effect of milling on structure of kaolinite-urea intercalates were studied. Untreated and treated kaolinite samples were examined by Field scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The basal spacing of kaolinite measured by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) increased from 1.02 to 3.62 nm after intercalation by urea. Significantly, nature of intercalation was reached through formation of hydrogen bonds between urea and both Si-O and AlOH groups of the interlayer surface of kaolinite.
