Abstract

The smectite mineral of bentonite deposits within Digma (Maastrichtian) and Akashat (Danian) formations in the western desert of Iraq distinguished by hydrophilic properties, and the presence of Ca and sometimes Na in the interlayer space. To improve the surface properties of smectite for its contribution in industrial and environmental fields, Octadecylamine has been used for modification of smectite inorganic substance in the molar ratio of SMT:ODA=1:3 at 80 cº for 24 hr. reaction time. The intercalation confirmed by powder x-ray diffraction. The results show that the sample (T18/2) (Danian) has more organophilic than the sample (BS2C) for Maastrichtian
