Examples in materials science and in geology show an interest for iron-rich tri-octahedral
clay mineral synthesis in large amounts and with well-defined characteristics. This review …

Experimental evidence related to the interactions between steel corrosion and bentonite in
deep geological repositories is reconsidered. The released Fe 2+ interacts with the smectite …

The use of adsorption using nanomaterials has become a very competitive method for
removal of hazardous materials from wastewater. With increasing consumption of fossil fuels …

A collection of large data sets from different orogenic belts was compiled for a correlation
between organic matter (OM) versus clay mineral (CM) indices calibrated with the vitrinite …

Samples of argillaceous source rocks from three sub-members of the Shahejie Formation
(Es) in the Dongying Depression, China, were collected to investigate the differences in …

The formation of iron-rich phyllosilicates can occur at different natural or engineered
settings. In this study, the influence of pH in the hydrothermal synthesis of iron-rich …

We investigated the chemical and mineralogical characteristics of a weathering profile of the
Nui Nua serpentinized ultramafic-mafic massif (Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam) using TEM …

Purpose This study aims to identify the processes and mechanisms affecting
physicochemical properties of soil following application of mineral soil conditioner and to …

Clay mineral is widely used in ceramic materials, building materials, paper coating
materials, catalyst support, and an alternative material for zeolite. This paper reports the …

Lack of energy is a serious threat to the prosperity of many developed states that have
access to or plan to use nuclear power. The paper describes a concept for solving two major …
