Material
- Name
- Na-Montmorillonite with adsorbed and interlayer water
- Origin
- natural terrestrial
- Comments
- Mass fraction (without H2O) estimated: 0.85 +/-0.1 for 25-50µm grain fraction (probably > 0.75 for raw and < 0.87-0.95 for < 2µm size) - Contain 0.11 of Saponite - weakly consolidated aggregates of < 2µm particles with complex shape often elongated and relatively far from spheroids. Surface area: N2 area: 31.82 +/- 0.22 m2/g (Vogt et al. 2002)
