Research of Kosova Bentonite Through Difractometer Dust Analysis, ESR Spectroscopy and TDA and TGA Analysis
Experimental
realization of this work we have done in natural and activated bentonite of
Kosova. Diffractogram analysis shows that the natural bentonite of Karaçeva
contains mainly montmorillonit mineral, while the clay mineral contained in the
bentonite of Gushica and Kabash presents the structure of the mixed layers of
mika and montmorillonit, respectively of ilit ore. To create specific statement
of phase transformations of special mineralogical components during heat
treatment of bentonite of Kosova were used analysis methods of TDA and TGA. Research
by ESR spectroscopy have been undertaken to identify the positions of Fe3+
and Mn2+ ions in the structures of minerals present in various
deposits in Kosova.
