This paper describes how Diffuse Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (DRIFT) spectroscopy was used to monitor the sorption behavior of a short chain fatty acid, propanoic acid, on the clay mineral, montmorillonite. Organic acids bind to montmorillonite in two ways, either by dipole interaction with the oxygens in the interlayer space, or by bonding of the carboxylate anions to exposed aluminum ions. The DRIFT spectra of propanoic acid-montmorillonite complexes have bands at 1728 and 1554 cm-1, which are attributed to the symmetric, and antisymmetric stretching vibrations, respectively, of the C=O, ν(C=O)s, and O-C-O, ν(O-C-O)a, bonds of the carboxylic acid group. Each band represents one of the two different binding modes. These bands can be used to monitor the physical and chemical adsorption of the acid by the montmorillonite. When the peak area of each vibration is plotted against increasing acid concentration, both increase to a maximum. However the peak area for the ν(O-C-O)a vibration reaches a maximum at a much lower acid concentration than the ν(O=O)s vibration. The former maximum corresponds to saturation of the available binding sites on the edge surface aluminum ions. This concentration can be used to calculate the number of binding sites on the clay crystal. Where propanoic acid is allowed to diffuse from the clay, the bound fraction remains on the montmorillonite reducing the available acid that can be desorbed or leached from the clay.
