Abstract
Crystal-violet is a cationic dye that exhibits metachromasy in aqueous solutions and when adsorbed on various solids; the changes in the absorption spectrum of the dye permit identification of monomeric, dimeric, and polymeric species and can also help in distinguishing between several different kinds of dye-adsorbent interactions. This paper reports the results of calorimetric measurements of enthalpies of adsorption of aqueous crystal-violet on to eight different cationic (Li+ K+, Cs+, Mg2+ Ca2+ Ba2+ Cd2+ and Al3+) montmorillonite clays.
