Figure 7. FTIR spectra of the structural OH-stretching region of 1-naphthol-sorbed whole clay and carbonate-free K-SWy-2 reflecting the overall contribution of AlAlOH, AlFe+3OH and AlMgOH bands. The {nu}(OH) band of the whole clay shows a lower intensity in the lower-energy portion (3595 to 3572 cm–1) of this spectrum representing AlFe3+OH and FeFeOH bands.
