The influence of individual clay minerals on formation damage of reservoir sandstones is
reviewed, mainly through the mechanism of fine particle dispersion and migration leading to …

The mineralogy of many of the major unconventional hydrocarbon shale reservoirs in the
USA, which span practically the whole spectrum of Phanerozoic time, is reviewed from a …

A layered protonic titanate of lepidocrocite-type, H x Ti2-x/4□ x/4O4⊙ H2O (x∼ 0.7;□,
vacancy), has been exfoliated on the action of an aqueous solution of tetrabutylammonium …

This paper describes the swelling/exfoliation process in which a layered protonic titanate, H
x Ti2-x/4□ x/4O4⊙ H2O (x∼ 0.7;□, vacancy), undergoes high degrees of hydration in …

This paper reports on the swelling and exfoliation behavior of a layered protonic manganese
oxide, H0. 13MnO2⊙ 0.7 H2O, in a solution of tetrabutylammonium (TBA) hydroxide and the …

Intercalation of basic surfactant molecules into the layered perovskites H [Ca2Na
„_3Nbn03n+ 1], n= 3-5, can be used to cause spontaneous exfoliation of the structure into …

This chapter is devoted to X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), since that is the technique most
applicable to soil mineralogy. Obtaining useful information from XRD requires the ability to …

Materials representing common interstratified clay minerals are shown to be composed of
aggregates of fundamental particles. Transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction …

Three mechanisms for clay mineral formation (inheritance, neoformation, and
transformation) operating in three geological environments (weathering, sedimentary, and …

Shallow-marine carbonate sediments occur in three settings: platforms, shelves and ramps.
The facies patterns and sequences in these settings are distinctive. However, one type of …
