title: Microwave enhanced ion exchange of cationic and anionic clays.
abstract: The ion exchange reactions of both cationic clays (e.g. montmorillonites) and of layered double hydroxides ("anionic clays") are greatly accelerated when carried out under conditions of microwave heating. The observations appear general, and the new methodology should be of considerable importance in many aspects of clay science.
