| Abstract |
| The paper embodies characterization and rehydration of the clay from
Bikaner district of Rajasthan. DTA and XRD indicated that the clay
contained predominantly montmorillonite with kaolinite and quartz
as impurities. The behaviour of the clay on dehydroxylation was found
similar to an abnormal montmorillonite. DTA and TGA study
suggested that the clay regained lost water completely on rehydration
after being heat-treated up to 400°C, but the rehydration was comparatively
poor when the clay was heated at higher temperatures.
Maximum water adsorption was noticed for the sample heat-treated
at 200°C. |
