To future-proof alkali-activation technology, there is a need to look beyond well-established
precursors such as fly ash and blast furnace slag, due to resource competition, geographical …

Bentonites are often used as components of engineered barrier systems (EBS) for the
radioactive waste disposal and isolation of hazardous nuclear facilities. In this paper, we …

Experimental findings obtained by FTIR and Raman spectroscopies on montmorillonite-
water mixtures at three concentration values are presented. To get some insight into the …

In this paper, the composition and properties of two different activated calcinated clays were
investigated under selected curing conditions. The tendency of metabentonite and …

Montmorillonite magnetic-clay nanoparticles (MtMag) and its exchanged product with
hexadecyltrimethylammonium (O100MtMag) were synthetized by alkaline oxidation of …

Clay minerals nanostructured appear as an alternative to increase textural property and
mechanical strength, such as montmorillonite (MMT-NPs). Nanocomposites are …

The use of calcined clays in the construction industry is thriving. However, muscovitic or illitic
clays, which constitute a large portion of the available clay resources, are hardly activated by …

Montmorillonite (MMT) can be exfoliated into nanosheets used in a wide range of
applications as two‐dimensional (2D) material. The exfoliated MMT nanosheets with high …

The adsorption ability of natural clay minerals and zeolites is a structurally caused
distinguished feature, which determines their physical–chemical properties and almost each …

In this study it was determined the impact of calcination or mechano-chemical activation
(MCA) on the physico-chemical properties and reactivity of Ca-montmorillonite and Na …
