4 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Definitions Cation Exchange Cation Exchange Capacity Why do soils have CEC
5 Definitions Soil colloids will attract and hold positively charged ions to their surface Replacement of one ion for another from solution Cation Exchange For every cation that is adsorbed, one goes back into soil solution Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) In soil science the maximum quantity of total cations, of any class, that a soil is capable of holding, at a given ph value, available for exchange with the soil solution (meq+/100g)
6 Why do soils have CEC? The cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil is determined by the amount of clay and/or humus that is present. Clay & Humus : Cation warehouse or reservoir of the soil Sandy soils with very little OM Clay soils with high levels of OM Low CEC much greater capacity to hold cations. (negative soil particles attract the positive cations) Sand Clay Si 2 O 4 SiAlO 4 - No charge. Does not retain cations Negative charge. Attracts and retains cations
7 CLAY STRUCTURE How do clays Have a CEC Isomorphous substitution Foundations and differences of Clays structures 1:1 Clays 2:1 Clays Some properties of clay minerals
8 Why do clays have a CEC? If the mineral was pure silica and oxygen (Quartz), the particle would not have any charge. Figure 1 ) SiO 2 Structure
9 Isomorphous substitution However, clay minerals could contain aluminum as well as silica. They have a net negative charge because of : the substitution of silica (Si4+) by aluminum (Al3+) in the clay. This replacement of silica by aluminum in the clay mineral s structure is called isomorphous substitution, and the result is clays with negative surface charge Figure 2) Tetrahedron - SiO 4 Octahedron - Al(OH) 6

11 How clays are forming basically? Exposed Oxygen Shared Oxygen Hydrogen Balance Oxygen Charge Si Al Figure 4) Clays unit structure
12 Clay Types A) 1:1 Type Minerals Mostly Kaolinite Si Al 7A o Si Al Hydrogen bonding between layers. This gives 1:1 type minerals a very rigid structure. Figure 5) 1:1 clays Well crystallized Low cation adsorption Little isomorphous substitution Larger particle size (0.1-5 m m) Fixed lattice type No interlayer activity No shrink-swell Only external surface
13 Clay Types B) 2:1 Type Minerals 1. Expanding lattice Smectite group Mostly Montmorillonite 18A o Si Al Si Freely expanding Water in interlayer Large shrink-swell Small size Poorly crystallized Large internal surface Isomorphous substitution Large cation adsorption Adsorbed cations in interlayer Ca Mg H2O Si Al Si Figure 6) 2:1 expanding clays
14 Clay Types 2. Non-expanding lattice Fine-grained micas or illite Some distribution of Al for Si in the tetrahedral layers leads to permanent net negative charge Al +3 and K + substitute for Si +4 (tetrahedral sheet) weathering at edges = release of K + very limited expansion medium cation adsorption limited internal surface properties between kaolinite and vermiculite 10A o K Si Al K - K - K - K - K - K - Si Si Al Si Figure 7) 2:1 non expanding clays
15 Clay Types Chlorites : Mg replace K + of illite Similar to illite Vermiculite : similar to Smectite more structured => limited expansion Rather large cation adsorption Figure 8) Clays comparison

18 Conclusion From the previous discussion, it is obvious that the amount and type of clay in the soil determines cation exchange capacity. Kaolinite Non Clays In addition, the type of clay also affects cation exchange capacity. There are three types of aluminosilicate clays in temperate region soils: Illite Montmorillonite CEC, Shrinkage & Swelling Figure 10) CEC comparison
19 How tight an ion is held. 1) Ion s hydrated radius Smaller radius = tighter hold 2) Magnitude of ion s charge Higher charge = tighter hold Al3+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+, NH4 + > Na+ > Li+ How likely an ion species is to be adsorbed is determined by its concentration in the soil solution Higher concentration = more adsorption High concentration of one ion species relative to another ion species can supersede the effect of radius and charge
20 Chapter 3 SURFACE PROPERTIES Surface Properties Relations
21 Surface Properties Relations There are some important correlations between some surface properties of soil,that have to be obvious. This Properties are :
22 1 m Reason of differences Montmorillonite Area : 18 m2 Area : 6 m2 Figure 11)
23 CEC & SSA Relationship Many researchers (e.g., Farrar and Coleman 1967; De Kimpe et al. 1979; Cihacek and Bremner 1979; Newman 1983; Tiller and Smith 1990) have found : Surface Area to relate closely to Cation Exchange Capacity of soils. The surface activity of a clayey soil can be described in part by its CEC or by its Specific Surface Area (Locat et al. 1984). Gill and Reaves (1957) presented SSA versus CEC with a correlation coefficient of r 2 = 0.95, which is similar to Mortland s (1954) and Reeve s et al. (1954) findings. Farrar and Coleman (1967) presented results for 19 British Clays, which show a relatively linear correlation between CEC and SSA. All of these equations can be found in Table 2.

29 Chapter 4 ENGINEERING PROPERTIES How the surface properties affect on soil physical properties
30 Introduction Many properties of the fine-grained soils are attributed to cation exchange, which is a surface phenomenon. By replacing the existing cations in the exchange complex, several improvements can be effected in the soil properties. These beneficial changes are in the form of reduction in plasticity, increase in the strength, and reduction in the compressibility. Figure 11) Lime Stabilization The addition of lime to a soil supplies an excess of calcium ions, and cation exchange can take place with divalent calcium, Ca+2 replacing all other monovalent cations. The base exchange phenomenon has been used by several investigators to explain the effects of chemical stabilization. (K. Mathew 1997)
31 Diagram 1: Atterberg Limits 2: Dispersion 3: Hydraulic conductivity Following previous session,some soil engineering properties changes that found to be related,directly or not,with Cation Exchange process are discussed 4: Swelling Potential 5: Compressibility 6: Consoildation
32 LL% 1 : Atterberg Limits Sridharan et al. (1975) tested seven natural soils containing montmorillonite as the dominant clay mineral and showed the relationship between the Atterberg limits and Clay Fraction (CF), SSA and CEC. The Liquid Limit versus CEC shows somewhat of a linear trend, as indicated in Figure 19. CEC Figure 15) CEC versus LL% (Sridharan et al.1975)
33 Figure 16) LL versus CEC Relationship Between Cation Exchange Capacity and Liquid Limit. (after Davidson et al. 1952)
34 Figure 17) PL versus CEC This Slide Removed For More Reviews
35 Figure 18) IP versus CEC Relationship Between Cation Exchange Capacity and Plasticity Index (after Davidson et al. 1952)
36 Figure 19) SL versus CEC Relationship Between Cation Exchange Capacity and Shrinkage Limit. (after Davidson et al. 1952)
37 Shrinkage Limit The shrinkage of clay soils is often said to depend not only on the amount of clay, but also on its nature (Greene-Kelly 1974). Montmorillonitic soils = high water adsorption = high shrinkage (Smith 1959) optimum clay content (Sridharan 1998). Clay % 30 and 50 %.
38 Table 3) Equations between PL, LL & SA The Plastic and Liquid limit has been highly correlated with CEC and Specific Surface Area (Smith et al. 1985; Gill and Reaves 1957; Farrar and Coleman 1967; Odell et al. 1960), as seen in Table 3. Correlation Equations for Relationships Between PL,LL,and SA CEC=0.55LL-12.2 British Clay Soils Farrar and Coleman (1967) CEC=1.74LL Clays from Israel Smith et al. (1985) CEC=3.57PL-61.3 Clays from Israel Smith et al. (1985) PL=0.43SA ext African/Georgia/Missoury Hammel et al. (1983) PL=0.064SA Clays from Israel Smith et al. (1985)
39 2: Dispersion Surface area may also play a significant role in controlling the behavior of dispersive clays through surface charge properties (e.g., Heinzen et al. 1977; Harmse et al. 1988; Sridharan et al. 1992; Bell et al. 1994). Sodic soils are typically highly dispersive. Sodic soils have a high concentration of exchangeable Na +,therefore much of the negative charge on the clay is neutralized by Na +, creating a thick layer of positive charge that may prevent clay particles from flocculating
40 3: Hydraulic conductivity A laboratory study of the hydraulic conductivity (HC) of a marine clay with monovalent, divalent and trivalent cations revealed large differences in HC. RAO et all 1995 suggests that HC is significantly affected by the valency and size of the adsorbed cations. An increase in the valency of the adsorbed cations For a constant valency An increase in the hydrated radius of the adsorbed cations Higher HC Lower HC As per Ahmed et al (1969) and Quirk and Schofield (1955) HC is related to exchangeable cations in the following order Ca = Mg > K > Na
41 4: Swelling Potential The more montmorillonite in the mixture, the more internal surface and the surface area. As the surface area increases, the swelling potential increases De Bruyn et al. (1957) presented results and a classification of various soils using Specific Surface Area and moisture contents. His criteria state that soils with : TSSA < 70 m 2 /g & w % < 3% non-expansive (good). TSSA > 300 m 2 /g & w % > 10% expansive (bad).
42 Swelling Figure 21) Swelling versus SSA Specific Surface Area (De Bruyn et al,1957)
43 5: Compressibility It has been established that the thickness of the double layer is sensitive to changes in cations present on the surface (Van Olphen 1963). The divalent and trivalent cations in the adsorbed complex of clayey soil are known to reduce the thickness of the diffuse double layer by one-half and one-third. respectively (Mitchell 1976) An increase in valency leads to a reduction in compressibility, and at a constant valency an increase in the hydrated radii of the adsorbed cations resulted in an increase in compressibility. Further, it has been found that preconsolidation pressure increases with valency of the cations.(k. Mathew 1997).
