1 Clay Minerals (1967) 7, 33. ENERGY CHANGES IN DEHYDRATION PROCESSES OF CLAY MINERALS TOSHIO SUDO*, SUSUMU SHIMODA*, SHIGERU NISHIGAKIt AND MASAHARU AOKI t *Geological and Mineralogical Institute, Faculty of Science, Tokyo University of Education, and trigaku Denki Company, Tokyo, Japan (Received ~8 July 1966) ABSTRACT: Using the adiabatic calorimeter which has been developed by Nagasaki & Takagi (1948) and manufactured by the Rigaku Denki Company, the energy changes associated with the dehydration and dehydroxylation processes of clay minerals were measured at room pressure. The samples studied were montmorillonite, chlorite (trioctahedral type), and three kinds of interstratified minerals with component layers such as mica, dioctahedral chlorite, and montmorillonite. AH-values due to the dehydration of the interlayer region were 9-8 keal/h20 mole for montmorillonite and 12"4---13"4 kcal/hzo mole for interstratified minerals mica-montmoriilonite and dioctahedral chlorite-montmorillonite. The values due to dehydroxylation of the silicate layer were 17-7 kcal/h20 mole for montmorillonite, 16"8-17"5 kcal/h20 mole for the interstratified micamontmorillonite, and 19"3 kcal/hzo mole for chlorite. The value for the dehydroxylation of the hydroxyl layer of chlorite was 19"3 kcal/h20 mole. For the sake of comparison, the heat of transition a<--->fl of quartz was found to be 140 cal]mole. The reproducibility of these values was in the range of %. INTRODUCTION In the field of clay mineralogy, thermal analysis has been widely used mostly for the purpose of qualitative identification, and the necessity for a more quantitative approach in future research has become evident. The purpose of the present paper is to report the data on the energy changes in the dehydration and dehydroxylation processes in clay minerals which can now be studied by more quantitative methods. The data obtained include specific heat (SH) curves recorded by the adiabatic calorimeter developed by Nagasaki & Takagi (1948). Thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves were also recorded with this calorimeter either simultaneously or successively, and the data obtained from these curves are discussed along with AH-values measured from SH-curves.
2 34 T. Sudo, S. Shimoda, S. Nishigaki and M. Aoki Several problems are left for future study, such as discussion of detailed constructional features of the apparatus and strict control of the experimental conditions. APPARATUS AND EXPERIMENTS The most important feature of the adiabatic calorimeter is the part of the furnace including the sample holder (Fig. 1). The sample holder (1) is a cylindrical bottle of silica glass, about 4"265 g in weight, having three holes in its base; one (a) is along the axis of the cylinder and the other two, (b) and (c), are located symmetrically on either side of the middle hole. This sample holder is set on a silica (1) (2) (6) (3) a FIG. 1. Schematic diagram of the sample holder and the furnace of the adiabatic calorimeter (Nagasaki & Takagi, 1948). glass frame and placed in the middle of a spherical nickel container (2) which is called the adiabatic container. The sample is heated uniformly by supplying constant wattage to the internal heater (3) which is set in the middle hole (a) of the sample holder. The temperature of the sample is measured by a thermocouple (4) which is set in hole (c) of the sample holder. One junction of a differential thermocouple (5) is set in hole (b) and the other junction is in contact with the wall of the adiabatic container. The adiabatic container is covered by three-fold metal shield plates and set in the middle of the spherical furnace (6), the temperature of which is controlled automatically so as to eliminate any temperature difference between the sample holder and the adiabatic container. Under these conditions, it is possible to measure the time interval At (sec) to raise the temperature of a sample of M g by A0 ~ C by supplying constant wattage (W) to the internal heater.
3 The specific heat (SH) is obtained from Dehydration of clay minerals W At SH = M s cal/g The specific heat of most materials gradually increases as the temperature rises. Hence the base-line usually shows a slight rise with rising temperature. Phase transition usually causes deflection of the base-line to such an extent as to form a peak. The total energy change is calculated from the total time given by the peak area on the specific heat (SH) curve (Fig. 2). j--._f r F F I- F F F- \ Lt... - S H 620 ~ 610 ~ 600 ~ 590 ~ 580 ~ 570 ~ 560" FFFT1 i I I t [TFTR I I / 1 FTTT-T}!

Montmorillonite from Aterazawa, Yamagata Prefecture It occurs as thick beds intercalated within Tertiary tuffaceous sediments and has been used as drilling mud in Japan. The original sample contained quartz, which was removed as completely as possible by repeated elutriation; a small amount of it remained, and this was estimated as 3"84% by the X-ray method.

The chemical composition, c.e.c, value, and the kinds of the exchangeable cations of the original sample are shown in Table 1, column 1. The structural formula was calculated from the chemical composition after subtracting 3-84% SiO2 as follows: (Nao.4oMgo.osKo.olCao.os) (All.51Mgo.s~Fe'"o.ogCao.osTio.ol) (Sis.s4Alo.x6) Os0 (OH)~ The ion ratio in the first brackets agrees fairly well with that calculated from the analysis of the exchangeable cations, and shows the mineral to be a sodium-montmorillonite. Actually, the basal spacing is quite sensitive to room humidity showing fluctuations in the range of A. The first dehydration reaction gives a single peak. The final endothermic peak in the DTA-curve does not accompany weight loss as revealed by the TG-curves (Fig. 3a). 2. Chlorite (leuchtenbergite-sheridanite) #om the Wanibuchi mine, Shimane Prefecture (Sakamoto & Sudo, 1965) This chlorite occurs in hydrothermal alteration areas around gypsum deposits in Tertiary sediments and volcanic rocks. It is pale greenish grey, compact and massive like bentonite clays. In the innermost fringe of the alteration area, it

6 38 T. Sudo, S. Shimoda, S. Nishigaki and M. Aoki occurs as chlorite clay free from impurities. The chemical composition is given in Table 1, column 2. On going outward montmorillonite layers are usually interstratified with chlorite layers. The sample used is from material which predominates in the area, and it contains a small amount of montmorillonite layers as revealed by a small endothermic peak at ~ C in its DTA-curve (Fig. 3b). The peaks at about 600 ~ and 800 ~ C, are due to the brucite and talc layers respectively. The second peak is followed by an exothermic peak due to recrystallization, and it is doubtful whether the energy change for the second dehydroxylation peak is influenced by the energy change due to recrystallization. Effects of heat were just visible on X-ray powder reflections after heating at 800 ~ C for I hr, and the reflections were modified after heating at 850 ~ C for 1 hr, the occurrence of forsterite was clearly observed by the X-ray method after heating at 1000 ~ C. 3. Hydrous complex o] mica clay mineral ]rom the Goto mine, Nagasaki Pre]ecture. 4. Hydrous complex of mica clay mineral from the Yonago mine, Nagano Pre]ecture. Both are associated with hydrothermal deposits of diaspore and pyrophyllite (Sudo, Hayashi & Shimoda, 1962). The Goto material (Table 1, column 3) is nearly regular and may be called rectorite (= allevardite), but it is doubtful whether its hydrated layers agree with those in the original 'allevardite'. The Yonago material (Table 1, column 4) may be defined as a partially random type of mica and hydrated layers. In both cases the basal spacings are extremely sensitive to changes in room humidity. The small endothermic peak in DTA-curves above 900 ~ C is related to montmorillonite layers because of no deflection in TG-curves (Figs. 3c and 3d). 5. Regularly interstratified dioctahedral chlorite (sudoite)-montmorillonite (Sudo & Kodama, 1957) [rom the Kamikita mine, Aomori Prefecture (Table 1, column 5) It occurs in the alteration area of the hydrothermal pyrite deposit in Tertiary volcanic rocks and tuffaceous sediments. The name 'dioctahedral chlorite' is used here for a mixed-type of dioctahedral and trioctahedral sites. Although the mineral described first by Sudo and his collaborators (Sudo, Takahashi & Matsui, 1954; Sudo & Hayashi, 1956) was almost free from magnesium, the present mineral contains an appreciable amount of this element. The way in which the magnesium is distributed has not been clarified. In the earlier report (Suda & Kodama, 1959) the structural formula was derived assuming that the silicate layer is completely dioctahedral and the whole of the magnesium is in the hydroxyl layer, making it approximately trioctahedral. The recent study of dioctahedral chlorite (Sudo & Sato, 1966) has revealed that the observed X-ray powder intensities are close to the calculated values of the model in which the silicate layer is completely dioctahedral, hence it may be said, referring to the data on dioctahedral chlorite, that the abovementioned description of the present mixed-layer mineral may be a proper one. Recently, Frank-Kamenetsky et al. (1963) found a similar mineral from U.S.S.R. and named it tosudite.
7 Dehydration of clay minerals 39 It is noteworthy that a large endothermic peak occurs at about 600 ~ C and a smaller endothermic peak followed by a small exothermic peak occurs between 900 and 1000 ~ C (Fig. 3e). The thermogravimetric (TG) curve reveals a gradual weight loss after the peak at about 600 ~ C, but there is no weight loss associated with the small endothermic peak at about 900 ~ C. This fact suggests that the thermal peaks due to dehydroxylation of the silicate layer and hydroxyl layer do not occur as two discrete peaks. X-ray analysis of the pre-heated sample revealed that the structure of this mineral has been disintegrated after heating at about 600 ~ C. From these facts, it is doubtful whether the peak at 600 ~ C is solely due to dehydroxylation of the hydroxyl layer. It is inferred that the effect of dehydroxylation of the silicate layer is partly present in the peak at about 600 ~ C. (a) Heat of transition o] quartz RESULTS The sample was pulverized to a particle size of mesh. The peak temperature obtained was 573 ~ C, and AH was 140 cal/mole. The mean heating rate was 1-5 ~ C/min at the base line, and about 0.6 ~ C/min in the peak range. The deflection of the base-line starts from ~ C before the transition. The value obtained here includes all of the heat which caused the change of the base-line in the pre-transition region. The heat of transition for ~-fl quartz has been reported as follows: 166 cal/mole (Nagasaki et al., 1961), 290 cal/mole (Kelley, 1960), 0"15 kcal/mole (= 150 cal/mole) (Wagman, 1957), 4.5 cal/g (= 270 cal/mole) (Grimshaw & Roberts, 1957), 14"6 J/g (= 209 cal/mole) (Birch, 1942). These discrepancies may be explained by a disordered state near the transition temperature. Actually the value depends upon the mean heating rate, and it is usually difficult to choose the correct background extrapolation. (b) Energy changes in dehydration or dehydroxylation processes on some clay minerals In Table 2, the values of energy changes in dehydration and dehydroxylation processes of some clay minerals are shown in two ways; one is the value per gram of the sample before heating and the other is the value per mole of water evaporated. CONSIDERATIONS The energy changes (heat changes) associated with the dehydration and dehydroxylation processes of clay minerals may be influenced by the following factors: 1. Atmospheric conditions. 2. Static conditions. (a) Kind and concentration of ions associated with water molecules or hydroxyl ions. (b) Geometrical features of structure such as polytype or degree of regularity.

It is considered that these conditions may be mutually related to one another, hence it is very difficult to discriminate each effect as will be discussed below. 1. The present experiments gave no information concerning this condition except the following comments. The water content shown in chemical analysis is usually useless as the basis of the calculation of AH-values, because the usual selection of the boundary of the chemical analysis of water as H20 (+) and H20 c-) is not TABLE 2.

Consequently, peak temperatures in SH-curves are lower. It may be said that SH-curves are the record of thermal states closer to the thermal equilibrium condition than in the case of the recording of DTA-curves. (2) /'1 temperature at the time when the deflection of the base-line starts; To, temperature of peaks; T~, temperature at the time when the curves returned to the base-line; AE, probable error. This may include errors being due to such factors as the sensitivity of the instrument, experimental conditions, and measurements on the recording charts. The instrumental system is grouped into two: one is the thermobalance (the sensitivity of the chemical balance, the detection ability of the recorder), and the circuit of the specific heat measurement (sensitivities of the potentiometer, ammeter voltmeter and time-circuit, etc.). Errors being due to the sensitivity of the instrument used can be maintained to be 5 % in maximum. *Double peak. Because of broadness of the peaks, it was difficult to measure the energy change for each peak separately, hence the values were obtained as the total.

9 Dehydration of clay minerals 41 necessarily in accord with dehydration ranges of clay minerals. Further, it should be noticed that the content of moisture varies with room humidity, particularly in clay minerals having strong dehydration capacity. 2. (a) Dehydration of the interlayer water molecules In Table 3, kind and concentration of interlayer cations are compared with AH-values. It is difficult to come to any conclusion on the effect of the kind of cations, because these natural samples are usually not homoionic. TABLE 3.

Dehydroxylation o] the silicate layer In the cases of montmorillonite and mixed-layer minerals (I) and (II), the octahedral cations in the silicate layer are mostly aluminium, and they show very close values, kcal/h20 mole. In the case of the chlorite (trioctahedral type) AH-value was obtained as 20-1 kcal/h20 mole, which is slightly larger probably due to more predominant magnesium. Dehydroxylation o/the hydroxyl layer In the case of chlorite, the value 19"3 kcal/h20 mole was obtained from the second endothermic peak which is clearly separate from the thermal peak due to dehydroxylation of the silicate layer. In the case of the mixed-layer mineral (III), as mentioned above, it is doubtful whether the peak at about 600 ~ C is solely due to dehydroxylation of the hydroxyl layer. It shows 20 kcal/h20 mole. 2. (b) Effects of 2(b) are not so distinct in thermal data as in X-ray patterns, as discussed in the following: qualitatively speaking, the crystallinity of the present samples may be put in the following order: montmorillonite~mixed-layer minerals (I) and (II)~chlorite. There is, however, no correlation between this order and the AH-values. The mixed-layer minerals (I) and (II) belong to the same group but are different from each other in the stacking behaviour of the component layers; their AH-values are very close to each other. The mixed-layer mineral (III) is quite different from (I) and (II) in the crystallochemical properties as well as in the stacking behaviour, but AH-values due to dehydration of the interlayer region are very close to those of the mixed-layer minerals (I) and (II). In relation to the
10 42 T. Sudo, S. Shimoda, S. Nishigaki and M. Aoki discussion in the preceding paragraph the following fact may be mentioned. The thermal peaks of the mixed-layer minerals (I) and (II) are relatively broader than that of montmorillonite but sharper than that of fine micas. Probably subtle differences in crystallite size distribution and also in crystal disorder may be reflected in differences in breadth of thermal peaks. Fine micas (hydromuscovite) usually show thermal peaks which are too broad to enable precise measurement of heat change. It is anticipated that some silicate layers of the random type and all layers of the completely regular type are facing different interlayer regions. However, it is noticed that the dehydroxylation peak of the silicate layer does not have any indication of a double peak. REFERENCES BIRCH F. (1942) Handbook of physical constants. Geol. Soc.
