Abstract
The thermal behaviour of sepiolite and palygorskite treated with butylamine was investigated by DTA, TG and EGA-MS under a flow of air and N2. It was shown that the amine was adsorbed by the clays, penetrating into the pores and replacing zeolitic and bound water. The presence of amine in the pores shifted the dehydroxylation peak to temperatures higher than for the untreated clays. In addition to desorption, reactions of pyrolysis and condensation to charcoal were detected by the evolution of NH3, CH4 or H2, respectively. -from Authors
