The effect of depressed temperatures on the swelling pressure of sodium montmorillonite.

Measurements on the swelling pressure of oriented samples of Na-montmorillonite at dialysate concentrations of 10^-4 and 10^-2 M NaCl were made at temperatures ranging from 0°C to 25°0 in a specially designed temperature - swelling apparatus. The results indicate that at a dialysate concentration of 10^-4 M NaCl, the swelling pressure predicted from the combined Poisson-Boltzmann equation agreed closely with the measured pressures at the temperatures considered – swelling pressure decreased with decreasing temperature as predicted from the equation. Measured pressures were in all cases slightly smaller than the predicted pressures.
