Previous studies of Laponite (Lap) in electrolyte solution have revealed a fast aggregation or gelation due to reduced electrostatic repulsion between Lap layers. In this work, the dispersion and stability of Lap in 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) solution were explored. Lap in low concentration of AMPS (<2.0wt%) were likely to generate aggregation because the formation of electrostatic...
Hydrothermal solidification of sepiolite clay was carried out at different curing temperatures (100°C and 200°C) with an introduction of calcium hydroxide. The addition of calcium hydroxide greatly affected the stability of sepiolite within sepiolite clay. When Ca/Si molar ratio (C/S) is lower than 0.4, sepiolite sustained well at both curing temperatures even for a long curing time (72h), and above...
