Ma. Banaresmunoz et al., INTERCALATION COMPOUNDS BETWEEN A SPANISH BENTONITE (GADOR MONTMORILLONITE) AND ETHYL 2-OXOCYCLOPENTANECARBOXYLATE (EOCPC), Journal of inclusion phenomena and molecular recognition in chemistry, 17(1), 1994, pp. 25-35
The process of retention of ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (EOCPC)
by samples of natural bentonite containing Gador montmorillonite has
been studied. Firstly, the adsorbent and the adsorbate were studied by
different techniques. Intercalation compounds between them were prepa
red by two different methods: imbibition at room temperature and reflu
x heating at 60-degrees-C. The compounds obtained by both treatments w
ere characterized structurally by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared sp
ectroscopy (Fr-IR), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermograv
imetric analysis
