Abstract

The ion exchange reactions of both cationic clays (e.g. montmorillonites) and of layered double hydroxides ("anionic clays") are greatly accelerated when carried out under conditions of microwave heating. The observations appear general, and the new methodology should be of considerable importance in many aspects of clay science.

 

Key Words: Cationic clays, anionic clays, ion ex­change
