Abstract

Four different natural Jordanian Montmorillonites: diatomite, zeolite, bentonite, and kaolinite (white
and red kaolinite) without any further purification or treatments were characterized by FTIR and SEM/EDS
techniques. FTIR validated the existence of silanol and hydroxyl group bridges on the clay surface, while
SEM verified the chemical composition SEM/EDS and the morphological structure of the Jordanian clays.
The results confirmed the presence of silanol and hydroxyl links on the samples surface and the existence of
some ions on the natural Montmorillonites.
