Use of layered silicate intercalation compounds with increased volume of expansion as , process for its preparation and its use

摘要

Production of foliated silicate intercalation compounds with elevated expansion volume and/or modified onset temperature from native expandable foliated silicate, especially vermiculite, involves intercalation of intercalate compound(s) selected from lithium (Li) and potassium (K) alcoholates and salts of Li, sodium (Na) and K with organic acids in the native silicate by cation exchange. An Independent claim is also included for foliated silicate intercalation compounds obtained by this process.
