Clays are layer-type aluminosilicate minerals. Being similar in chemistry to zeolites, they are
often used as solid acid catalysts and sorbents, but have found a range of other applications …

Experimental and theoretical studies are combined to analyze the adsorption properties of
modified kaolin for heavy metal (Pb, Cd, Zn and Cr) from coal combustion. The results …

Because of their many novel and advanced applications, there is increasing interest in layer
silicates from the scientific and technical communities. Appropriate application of these …

The performance of ten density functional theory (DFT) methods in a prediction of the
structure of four clay minerals, in which non-bonding interactions dominate in the layer …

High gangue entrainment is a major problem in fine particle flotation. In this study, the
entrainment of kaolinite Q38 in flotation was examined in tap and saline water. High …

The flocculation and solid/liquid separation of four well-characterized kaolinites (2 well, 2
poorly crystallized) have been studied for comparison of surface structure (SEM), aggregate …

Density functional modeling of the crystalline layered aluminosilicate mineral kaolinite is
conducted, first to reconcile discrepancies in the literature regarding the exact geometry of …

The destabilization of kaolinite suspension by anionic flocculant addition occurs in three
zones; free settling, hindered settling and compression which usually includes a final bed …

The electronic structure of kaolinite with and without intrinsic defects has been studied by the
Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) and Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) functionals and by the …

The interaction of formamide with kaolinite has been studied using transmission Fourier
transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) …
