Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
When dry illite is wetted, its layer structure contracts along the c-axis by up to 0.2 Å. This behavior contrasts with that of smectite which shows interlayer swelling on wetting. Layer contraction has also been found to occur in glauconite and celadonite that are structurally more disordered than illite, as well as with phengite and artificially degraded hydromuscovite. In contrast, muscovite proper does not show contraction. The contraction is ascribed to the deprotonation of hydronium ions (H3O+ → H2O + H+) occupying interlayer K+ positions. The hydronium ion is approximately 5% larger than the neutral water molecule. This difference in size is proportional to the magnitude of contraction. The change in molecular volume and interlayer separation of illite particles may explain the anomalous decrease in density after dehydration under pressure. This paper reports on wetting-induced contraction in illite and related layer silicates, using humidity-controlled X-ray diffraction. |
