    An ab initio theoretical approach has been used to calculate optimized geometries and the relative energies of various compositional arrangements in structures of dioctahedral smectites based on models consisting of two ...
  • Kuznicki, Steven M.; Lin, Christopher C. H.; Bian, Junjie; Anson, Alejandro (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    Natural zeolites may represent one of the greatest under-utilized resources of the mineral world. Even with their unique character and properties, issues of consistency, homogeneity and purity preclude them from many premium ...
  • Neuhoff, Philip S.; Wang, Jie (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    A calorimetric method for determining isothermal partial and integral heats of hydration reactions (DH¯ R,T,P and DH˜ R,T,P, respectively) in zeolites and other mineral hydrates is presented. The method involves immersing ...
  • Balan, Etienne; Fritsch, Emmanuel; Allard, Thierry; Calas, Georges (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    The tropical weathering of sedimentary kaolin deposits from the plateaux surrounding Manaus (Alter do Chao formation, Amazon basin, Brazil) leads to the in situ formation of thick kaolinitic soils. The structural changes ...
  • Drits, Victor A.; Lindgreen, Holger; Sakharov, Boris A.; Jakobsen, Hans Jørgen; Fallic, Anthony E.; Salyn, Alfred L.; Dainyak, Lidia G.; Zviagina, Bella B.; Barfod, Dan N. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    In the Nuussuaq Basin, West Greenland, a thick succession of Tertiary dolerites has penetrated Upper Cretaceous mudstone. The mixed-layer minerals of mudstone core samples have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction, solid-state ...
  • Jime´nez-milla´n, Juan; Va´zquez, Mercedes; Velilla, Nicola´s (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    Naturally deformed biotite in contact-metamorphosed slates affected by a shear zone of the Southern Iberian Massif near Jae´n (SE Spain) were studied by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, ...
  • Bobos, Iuliu; Vieillard, Philippe; Charoy, Bernard; Noronha, Fernando (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    The alteration of spodumene to cookeite has been identified in a Li-bearing aplite-pegmatite from northern Portugal. Optical microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM/ TEM) were used to characterize ...
  • Villar, M. V. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    This work presents the water retention curves obtained for two natural bentonites compacted at different dry densities. The density of the bentonite was kept constant during the determination, for which specific methodologies ...
  • Trolard, Fabienne; Bourrie´, Guilhem; Abdelmoula, Mustapha; Refait, Philippe; Feder, Fre´de´ric (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    Fougerite (IMA 2003-057) is a mixed M(II)-M(III) hydroxysalt of the green rust group, where M(II) can be Fe or Mg, and M(III) is Fe. The general structural formula is: [Fe2+ 1-xFe3+ x Mgy(OH)2+2y]+x[x/n A-n.mH2O]-x where ...

  • Aldushin, Kirill; Jordan, Guntram; Aldushina, Elena; Schmahl, Wolfgang W. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    The kinetics of cation exchange in phlogopite have been studied in situ by hydrothermal atomic force microscopy (HAFM). The exchange of interlayer K by octylammonium ions caused an increase in the interlayer distance and ...
  • Okada, Tomohiko; Ehara, Yusuke; Ogawa, Makoto (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    The adsorption of Eu3+ from aqueous solution to natural Na+-montmorillonite (Kunipia F), synthetic saponite (Sumecton SA) and synthetic fluoro-tetrasilicic mica (Na+-TSM) clay samples was investigated. Adsorption capacities ...
  • Curtius, Hilde; Ufer, Kristian (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    From leaching experiments with metallic uranium-aluminum research reactor fuel elements in repository-relevant MgCl2-rich salt brines, a Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) with chloride as the interlayer anion was ...
  • Kawano, Motoharu; Obokata, Sumine (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    Amino acids are ubiquitous in the Earth’s surface environments as reactive biological molecules produced by every living thing including bacteria. To evaluate the effects of amino acids on mineral dissolution and to reveal ...
  • Yu, G.; Saha, U. K.; Kozak, L. M.; Huang, P. M. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    The influence of organics on the crystallization of Al precipitates has been well documented. However, the effects of organics and ageing on the transformation and structural configuration of Al precipitates in relation ...
  • Meunier, Alain (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    Hydroxy-interlayered minerals (HIMs) are typical of moderately acidic soils. Barnhisel and Bertsch (1989) defined the hydroxy-interlayered clay minerals as a solid-solution series between smectite, vermiculite and pedogenic ...
