Characterization, pillaring and catalytic properties of a saponite from Vicálvaro, Madrid, Spain

Abstract: The characterization, pillaring ability and some catalytic properties of a saponite from the Vicálvaro deposit of Tolsa, located in Madrid have been studied. This mineral is associated with sepiolite in the same lacustrine environment. The raw saponite presents, as special characteristics, high specific surface area (>200 m2/g) and a high percentage of tetrahedral Al (90% of the total Al in the sample). Natural saponite gives rise to high conversions when used as a catalyst in the reaction of alkylation of … Show more

“…Beyond the PZC, the excess MB reversed the sign of clay charge from negative to positive (Figure 7), indicating specific adsorption of the cationic dye on the external clay surface, probably as aggregates (dimers, trimers, etc.) (Bergmann and O'Konski, 1963;Cenens and Schoonheydt, 1988) or over other active centers, such as Si-OH groups, by hydrogen bonding (Casal et al, 1997). Knowing the surface area of one MB cation (a MB = 130 Å 2 ) on one hand, and taking into account the values of the PZC determined above on the other hand, the specific surface areas of the raw clay and its purified <2 mm fraction were found to be~302 and 446 m 2 /g, respectively.…”

“…Sin embargo, aunque los yacimientos de la Cuenca del Tajo contienen aproximadamente el 70% de la reserva mundial de sepiolita 70 , no es esta la única arcilla magnésica existente en el entono Vicálvaro -Vallecas. Las explotaciones de sepiolita en la Cuenca Neógena de Madrid, incluyen secuencias que oscilan entre 10 y 50 m de potencia, en que las esmectitas trioctaédricas de carácter magnésico 71 (saponita 72 o estevensita 73 ) alternan con sepiolita y/o minerales micáceos 74 . Es probable, como se ha dicho, que Sureda ensayara "la tierra de Vallecas" durante su estancia en París e incluso que esta tierra hubiera sido utilizada en las primeras etapas de la Fábrica del Buen Retiro.…”

“…Natural saponite shows a high specific surface area value, characteristic of saponites in the Madrid Basin, owing to their small particle size, derived from the sedimentary origin of these deposits [29,30]. The specific surface area and the microporosity increase from the natural clay (191 m 2 g -1 ) to the pillared solid (230 m 2 g -1 ).…”
