Abstract

Differential and integral thermodynamic functions were evaluated from equilibrium isotherm and microcalorimetric measurements for KCa exchange in the <2-μm particles of 1:1 and 2:1 layer aluminosilicates. The heterogeneity of exchange sites for K sorption in each mineral was inferred qualitatively from changes, with K saturation, of the activity coefficient of adsorbed K+ and of the integral functions. However, the corresponding change in differential enthalpy, measured by microcalorimetry, was found to separate precisely groups of sites with constant exchange enthalpies in each mineral. The role of the enthalpic and entropic forces during exchange is discussed, emphasizing the differences between each “standard” mineral, and also the anomalous behavior of the kaolinite and montmorillonite minerals.

      Otherwise the increase of available P would always be underestimated by the model. Note that the increase of dissolved K measured with the addition of different CaCl2 concentrations was surely the result of Ca2+–K+ exchange reactions (e.g. Goulding and Talibudeen, 1980; Hu et al., 2013), as we have also seen that the concentrations in dissolved Al, Fe, and Si did not vary in these extracts. Only the pH decreased as the result of Ca2+–H+ exchanges (e.g. Guo et al., 2004).

      In this model, the Gouy–Chapman diffuse ionic layer was extended to the interlayer space, while the high concentration of cations and their (different) distribution in the interlayer space (Kjellander, 1996; Quirk, 2001) were ignored. The exchangeable cations occupy sites of different energy in the interlayer space (Goulding and Talibudeen, 1980; Brouwer et al., 1983). The formation of ion exchange sites with very high selectivity for caesium ions, induced by (i) repeated wetting–drying cycles of potassium montmorillonite and (ii) layer charge reduction using the Hofmann–Klemen effect, was described by Maes et al. (1985).
