The Effect of a Pulsed Magnetic Field on the Hydration Properties of Clinoptilolite and Glauconite

Resumo

The effect of a weak pulsed magnetic field (WPMF) on the hydration properties of natural aluminosilicates of different structures (clinoptilolite and glauconite) is established. Isotherms of water adsorption are analyzed using the BET equation and a more considerable decrease in the limiting capacity of a monolayer on clinoptilolite is determined as compared to that on glauconite (more than threefold), as is the corresponding decrease in the specific surface area of clinoptilolite, which is confirmed by the data of IR-spectral analysis.
