The study of the adsorption mechanism of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTA), which acts as an effective clay minerals hydration inhibitor, can provide an effective approach for the design of novel high-performance inhibitors with favorable molecular structures. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the adsorption mechanism of CHPTA on dry and hydrated montmorillonite (MMT) surfaces. The interactions between CHPTA, H2O, and MMT were systematically analyzed. It was found that CHPTA was mainly adsorbed on MMT by hydrogen bonds and especially electrostatic force and that the presence of Na ions favors the adsorption of CHPTA on the Na-(001) surface. In the presence of water molecules, the adsorption of CHPTA was promoted by H2O, which exhibited a cooperative adsorption effect by enhancing the MMT-CHPTA electrostatic force and by forming more hydrogen bonds and HCl bonds among CHPTA, H2O and MMT.
