Abstract

An analysis of the available literature data indicates that the cation exchange capacity and surface charge density of imogolite decrease systematically as the mole % of Al2O3 (i.e. 100 Al2O3/SIO2 + Al2O3) increases. This behavior is analogous to that of synthetic aluminosilicates. In contrast, no relation is apparent between the cation exchange capacity and mole % Al2O3 for allophane. This difference is rather striking and although both are amorphic, i.e. show minimal specific X-ray diffraction effects, imogolite is somewhat more crystalline than allophane (Russell et al., 1969)
