  • Cui, Haojie; You, Lei; Feng, Xionghan; Tan, Wenfeng; Qiu, Guohong; Liu, Fan (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Lithiophorite is a naturally occurring Mn oxide mineral commonly found in soils and sediments. The usual method of synthesizing lithiophorite is via a hydrothermal process in an autoclave at relatively high temperature and ...
  • Sucha, V.; Czimerova, A.; Bujdak, J. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Interactions between smectite clay minerals and various organic dyes have been studied extensively, but little information has accumulated from dye interactions with mixed-layer illite-smectite (I-S) minerals, especially ...
  • Inoue, Atsuyuki; Meunier, Alain; Patrier-mas, Patricia; Rigault, Cecile; Beaufort, Daniel; Vieillard, Philippe (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Low-temperature chlorites formed in diagenetic to low-grade metamorphic environments generally have greater Si contents and larger numbers of octahedral vacancies, and smaller Fe+Mg contents than higher-grademe tamorphic ...
  • Gonzalez, Eduardo; Rodriguez, Douglas; Huerta, Lenin; Moronta, Alexander (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Recent studies indicate that a template method for creating Al-pillared clays, in which surfactant micelles foster the creation of a homogeneous mesoporous network within the pillar, effectively enhance catalyst performance ...
  • Madejova, Jana; Palkova, Helena; Pentrak, Martin; Komadel, Peter (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The potential use of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy as a characterization tool for organoclays would be a great asset but little work has been done in this regard because the application ofNIR to clay mineral studies is ...
  • Unknown author (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The following are some papers that have been accepted for publication in future issues of Clays and Clay Minerals.
  • Drits, Victor A.; Zviagina, Bella B. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    A comprehensive study of clay minerals should include determination of the vacancy pattern of the dioctahedral sheet. The purpose of this report is to consider the advantages and limitations in various diffraction and ...
  • Janek, Marian; Bugar, Ignac; Lorenc, Dusan; Szocs, Vojtech; Velic, Dusan; Chorvat, Dusan (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Micaceous layer silicate clay minerals are attractive materials for applications involving nonlinear optics because of their low cost and ability to form well ordered, platy aggregates, but such applications require precise ...
  • Kovanda, Frantisek; Masatova, Petra; Novotna, Petra; Jiratova, Kveta (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are often used as precursors for mixed-oxide catalysts and the deposition of a LDH layer on supporting materials would be advantageous because of better utilization of active components. ...
  • Bachir, Cherifa; Lan, Yanhua; Mereacre, Valeriu; Powell, Annie K.; Koch, Christian Bender; Weidler, Peter G (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Pillared clays (PILCs) with magnetic properties are materials with potential for wide application in industry and the environment, but only a few studies of these types of materials have been carried out. The purpose of ...
  • Hrachova, Jana; Komadel, Peter; Chodak, Ivan (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Enhancement of the physico-chemical properties of elastomers can be achieved by the addition of fillers, such as silica, but the search for less expensive alternative materials continues. The objective of this study was ...
  • Matusik, Jakub; Gaweł, Adam; Bielanska, Elzbieta; Osuch, Władysław; Bahranowski, Krzysztof (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Kaolin-group clay minerals can be modified to form nanotubular and mesoporous structures with interesting catalytic properties, but knowledge of the best methods for preparing these structures is still incomplete. The ...
  • Taitel-Goldman, Nurit; Ezersky, Vladimir; Mogilyanski, Dimitry (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Deepsediments from the Red Sea have been studied extensively and provide a rich resource for understanding mineral transformations under hydrothermal conditions. Interrelationships among various sampling sites, however, ...
  • Lessovaia, S. N.; Polekhovsky, Yu. S. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The influence of epigenetic (pre-pedogenetic) alteration of basic and ultrabasic rocks leading to the formation of phyllosilicate mineral associations is not well known. The purpose of this study was to gain further ...
  • Steudel, Annett; Weidler, Peter G.; Schuhmann, Rainer; Emmerich, Katja (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The cation exchange capacity (CEC) is a characteristic property of expandable clay minerals, such as smectites and vermiculites. The aim of this work was to examine the cation exchange behavior of vermiculite using the ...
  • Schicker, A.; Gier, S. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Ecologic building materials such as adobe bricks have become of greater economic importance in recent years. In the present work, the addition of selected materials to improve the compressive and bending strengths of adobe ...
  • Guegan, Regis; Gautier, Mathieu; Beny, Jean-Michel; Muller, Fabrice (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The transformation of clay minerals into organo-clays by surfactant intercalation is of great environmental and industrial importance because it causes the clay to attract hydrophobic contaminants and other non-polar organic ...
  • Ming, Dr. Douglas W. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    It is an honor and a thrill for me to introduce Dr. Joe B. Dixon as the recipient of The Clay Minerals Society 1991 Distinguished Member Award. He has made many significant contributions in soil andclay mineralogy.
