Figure 4. FTIR spectra of 1-naphthol sorbed to the whole SWy-2 clay and carbonate-free SWy-2 in the 4000 to 400 cm1 region (the two spectra are overlapped).

Figure 5. An expanded region in the 2200 to 1350 cm1 of the FTIR spectra of 1-naphthol-sorbed whole K-SWy-2 (dotted lines) vs. carbonate-free K-SWy-2 (solid lines). Increased band intensity present as a broad spectral component under the 1701, 1636 and 1531 cm1 bands is attributed to the transformation product(s) of 1-naphthol.

Figure 6. FTIR spectra of the structural OH-bending region of 1-naphthol-sorbed whole K-SWy-2 vs. carbonate-free K-SWy-2. A reduction in intensity of the AlFe3+OH-bending mode of whole K-SWy-2 was observed relative to the intensity of this band in carbonate-free clay while no changes in the intensities of the AlAlOH and AlMgOH bands were noted.

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 (OH) band of the whole clay shows a lower intensity in the lower-energy portion (3595 to 3572 cm1) of this spectrum representing AlFe3+OH and FeFeOH bands.
