含水飽和圧縮粘土(3種類の塩濃度で含水飽和された密度0.8および1.4g/cmのNa型モンモリロナイト)中の間隙構造をNMR緩和法と凝固点降下法により評価した。4層状態までの層間水と層間外水との割合がそれぞれの緩和時間の閾値から計算された。低密度試料では、層間外水の割合が55%までの高い割合を示した。凝固点降下を利用した低温条件でのNMR測定の結果は、熱量測定から得られた約4nmのメソポアが、層間外水の閾値として評価された。凝固点降下とNMR緩和法で評価された層間外水の割合は、10%以内の差で一致した。-10Cでの縦緩和時間()と横緩和時間()の相関性評価から、密度1.4g/cmの条件下においても、高い移動度をもつバルクに近い水分子が存在することが示唆された。

The pore distribution of water-saturated compacted clay (Na-montmorillonite at 0.8 and 1.4 g/cm saturated by three salt concentrations) was evaluated using H NMR relaxometry and freezing point depression. The populations of interlayer water with four hydrated state and non-interlayer water were calculated from the assumed thresholds. The sample with lower density exhibits higher population of non-interlayer water up to 55%. Low-temperature H NMR experiments in view of freezing point depression indicated that mesopore water in approximately 4 nm space observed in the calorimetric study was considered as non-interlayer water and the threshold temperature. The result showed that population of non-interlayer water by expected from freezing point depression agreed with H NMR relaxometry within 10%. Correlation experiments between longitudinal () and transverse relation times () at -10C suggested that high-mobility bulk-like water molecules existed at a clay density of 1.4 g/cm.
