Abstract
The chemical and mineralogical surface properties of a brick-derived composite were examined by using an environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). Investigations revealed that the material could be assimilated to an adsorptive membrane having zeolites deposited onto quartz matrix. In our calculation, the membrane was considered as a diphase composite and its dielectric constant was evaluated from theoretical models developed in the literature. Electro-kinetic analysis showed that composite surfaces were hydroxylated with the formation of hydroxyl groups which behaved amphoterically. A theory-based approach was used for calculating thermodynamic constants relative to surface-protonation equilibriums. In the H-form of the composite, the occurrence of bridging Si–(OH)–Al sites were evidenced by mathematical calculations utilizing equations in direct relation to mineralogical, crystallographic and dielectric surface characteristics. 1H MAS NMR spectroscopy confirmed the existence of bridging Brønsted acid sites at acidified composite surfaces interacting with ammonium (as probe ions). Owing to advancements in brick-based composites research, this should lead more to the development of “ceramic” adsorptive membranes with natural clay materials.
