Abstract: | ![]() Ion Exchange of Monovalent Cations in Synthetic Sodium Polysilicates with Layer Structure Cation-exchange equilibria of synthetic sodium polysilicates Ilerit (Na2O · 8.3SiO2 8.9 H2O) and Magadiite (Na2O · 13 SiO2 · 6.8 H2O) with H+, Li+ and K+ Ions were investigated with respect to their selectivity behaviour. The range of ion selectivity is: H+ > Na+ > Li+ > K+. Thermodynamic data ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS were determined by means of the integral thermodynamic equilibria constants Kth of the ion-exchange reactions. |
