Abstract
Clay mineral/organic reactions have been studied extensively by a numerous physicochemical methods. There also has been extensive research done in the areas of adsorption, Lewis acid-base reactions, desorption, adduct formation. Many of these studies explain the role and dehydration of silicates.
Studies have shown through extraction, thermal analysis, and gas chromatography. That there is more than one type of bonding, weak and strong, taking place between the clay mineral and the organic waste.
In order to determine the practicality of the containment technology, this research has been investigated by using more powerful tools, such as thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and gas chromatography techniques. In this initial laboratory research paper, the conclusions were presented by drawing on the basis of TGA, DSC and GC results, a new emerging technology.
