- W2033991698 abstract "Abstract It is well known that the sodium smectite class of clays swells macroscopically in contact with water, whereas under normal conditions the potassium form does not. In recent work using molecular simulation methods, we have provided a quantitative explanation both for the swelling behaviour of sodium smectite clays and the lack of swelling of potassium smectites [1]. In the present paper, we apply similar modelling methods to study the mechanism of inhibition of clay-swelling by a range of organic molecules. Experimentally, it is known that polyalkylene glycols (polyethers) of intermediate to high relative molecular mass are effective inhibitors of smectite clay swelling. We use a range of atomistic simulation techniques, including Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics, to investigate the interactions between a selection of these compounds, water, and a model smectite clay mineral. These interactions occur by means of organised intercalation of water and organic molecules within the galleries between individual clay layers. The atomic interaction potentials deployed in this work are not as highly optimised as those used in our clay-cation-water work [1]. Nevertheless, our simulations yield trends and results that are in qualitative and sometimes semi-quantitative agreement with experimental findings on similiar (but not identical) systems. The internal energy of adsorption of simple polyethers per unit mass on the model clay is not significantly different from that for water adsorption; our Monte Carlo studies indicate that entropy is the driving force for the sorption of the simpler organic molecules inside the clay layers: a single long chain polyethylene glycol can displace a large number of water molecules, each of whose translational entropy is greatly enhanced when outside the clay. Hydrophobically modified polyalkylene glycols also enjoy significant van der Waals interactions within the layers which they form within the clay galleries. In conjunction with experimental studies, our work furnishes valuable insights into the relative effectiveness of the compounds considered and reveals the generic features that high performance clay-swelling inhibitors should possess. For optimal inhibitory activity, these compounds should be reasonably long chain linear organic molecules with localised hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions along the chain. On intercalation of these molecules within the clay layers, the hydrophobic regions provide an effective seal against ingress of water, while the hydrophilic ones enhance the binding of the sodium cations to the clay surface, preventing their hydration and the ensuing clay swelling." @default.
