Chemical composition, physical properties and
structural characterization of local natural clays which have been collected
from Aski Mosul village, area around Mosul city/ Iraq, were studied. The study
approach is based on using x-ray diffraction, x-ray florescence, atomic
absorption, thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry,
infrared spectroscopy, instrumental and classical chemical analysis techniques.
Chemical composition studies of the natural sample clearly indicating the presence
of large amounts of silica and calcium oxide in addition to aluminum oxide and
other minor oxides. Moreover, it is shown that such sample yields (⁓5%)
amorphous silica on treating with basic medium. The results were compared with
those obtained from acidicaly treated and chromium oxide doped clay samples. On
comparison the physical properties (e.g density, porosity, water absorption,
pore size, and capillary action), it seems that the treated clay sample has low
density and high porosity and permeability. Moreover, the doped samples are
more dens than others. Such variation because of the elimination of carbonate
compounds on treating and doping processes. Four samples were prepared in order to be more active and selective
adsorbent materials. Soxhlate fractionating techniques were set for all the
above types of adsorbents using four eluants gradually increased in polarity.
The fractionation results showed significant variations in the fractions
isolated according to their polarities as indicated by percentage results.
