Abstract

Mineralogical and water adsorption properties of water dispersible clays extracted from five soils of different typology after treatment with acid to different pH levels, were studied. The mineral composition, total and divalent iron content, surface areas and average adsorption energies of water dispersible clays were complicated functions of pH, reflecting the simultaneous effects of mineral destruction and aggregate disruption processes under influence of protons on soils. The magnetic susceptibilities of water dispersible clays were the lowest at pH 2 and roughly constant at higher pH values indicating the dissolution of crystalline forms of Fe below pH 3. The broadening of the peaks of adsorption energy distribution functions with decrease in pH is related to increasing formation of amorphous material from mineral phases.
