Thermal behavior, surface area, oxide, mineralogical composition, and structural functional
groups of raw and thermally treated five local kaolin clays [Ijero-Ekiti (IJ), Ikere-Ekiti (IK), Isan …

This study examined the shrinkage rate and mechanical properties of cob samples. Cob is a
natural building material composed of clay, water, and varying amounts of plant fibres. The …

Hydrocarbon contaminated sites are a critical issue. Soil is a complex substrate and its
heterogeneity makes soil remediation a difficult task. Studies involving in situ chemical …

Multifunctional horticultural mulches satisfy different agronomic needs: control weeds and
insects, reduction of water evaporation and soil erosion, as well as prevention of soil …

In this paper, a natural Moroccan material from the Nador area in the north east of Morocco
was studied as an adsorbent to remove methyl violet 2B dye from aqueous solutions. This …

A raw Moroccan clay locally named" Ghassoul"(Gh) was characterized using several
techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction …

A clay-based adsorbent (CBA) was purified from a sustainable precursor (raw clay, RC),
which was obtained from the Amazon region in Brazil. The CBA was characterized using X …

Raw materials with different technological properties found in the same geological region
can constitute a ceramic formulation upon proper mixing. This study aims to demonstrate the …

Physico-chemical methods are the most informative studies for natural zeolites. In the
present study, zeolite derivative material called as clinoptilolite was employed for the …

The catalytic activity of a Brazilian natural clay modified with the immobilization of iron oxide
was applied in the heterogeneous Fenton process for the degradation of the antibiotic …
