The adsorption of metal ions onto phyllosilicates has been classically interpreted in terms of formation of isolated or multinuclear, surface complexes or surface precipitates bridged to mineral surface. In the present note it is shown that in several Co(II) and Ni(II) sorption studies performed on silicates and silica at low temperature (25°C), surface clusters of the sorbate metal possess a clay-like local structure therefore pointing to the precipitation of a new hydrous silicate. This interpretation is based on 1. (1) metal-metal and metal-Si distances 2. (2) coordination numbers derived from EXAFS spectroscopy. This neoformation of clays during sorption experiments is thought to occur through the interaction of the metal ion with dissolved silicic acid, the sorbent acting as a source of silicic acid and eventually as a template.
