Organophilic bentonites prepared by reacting various amounts of n-laurylamine hydrochloride and dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium chloride with bentonite have been studied by the method of Fourier transforms. The transform curves obtained from the x-ray diffraction patterns of these samples show how different numbers of organic layers between clay laminae are produced by different kinds and amounts of organic material added to the clay. It has been found that as the organic material reacts by base exchange with the clay surfaces, the number of organic layers between each two clay platelets increases in a regular and stepwise manner.
