March 19: Jo Dweck, Qualitative and
Quantitative Thermal Analysis of Natural and Synthetic Clay
Abstract: Differential Thermal
Analysis (DTA) was the first thermal analysis technique used to
qualitatively characterize natural clays and respective curves has been used
since more than 60 years as their "fingerprint". With
the development of microprocessed
equipments in the last decades, derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curves
also may be used for this purpose, which also may allow in some cases a
quantitative
characterization of clay
components. TG and DTG curves are more indicated than DTA or DSC curves
to identify and to better analyze the several decomposition steps of natural
clays containing organic
materials or synthetic organo-clays.
These questions are discussed in applications developed to characterize
Brazilian kaolinitic clays, bentonites and organophilic clays.
