  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Zhao, Wei; Cui, Haojie; Liu, Fan; Tan, Wenfeng; Feng, Xionghan (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The relationship between vacant Mn structural sites in birnessites and heavy-metal adsorption is a current and important research topic. In this study, two series of birnessites with different average oxidation states (AOS) ...
  • Wang, Ming Kuang; Tseng, Pao Chung; Chang, Shyun Sheng; Ray, Dah Tong; Shau, Yen Hong; Shen, Yun Wei; Chen, Ruey Chyong; Chiang, Po Neng (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The Tuluanshan Formation of the eastern Coastal Range of Taiwan overlies an andesitic core complex presumed to be the source of hydrothermal fluids responsible for the Si- and Mg-rich mineralization of sepiolite and ...
  • Derkowski, Arkadiusz; Srodon, Jan; Franus, Wojciech; Uhlik, Peter; Banas, Michał; Zielinski, Grzegorz; Caplovicova, Maria; Franus, Małgorzata (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The K-Ar dating of glauconite has been used as an important stratigraphic tool for many decades. The application of this technique is limited to pure glauconites, free of detrital contamination by K-bearing phases, often ...
  • Rytwo, Giora; Gonen, Yotam; Huterer-Shveky, Reuma (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Syntheticdyes in industrial effluents pose a significant risk to human health and the environment, so much effort has been expended to degrade them using various methods, including the use of clay minerals as catalysts. ...
  • Papoulis, Dimitrios; Tsolis-Katagas, Panagiota; Kalampounias, Angelos G.; Tsikouras, Basilios (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Occurrences of halloysite-rich material in altered volcanic rocks, principally trachyandesites, dacites, and tuffs, extend over an area of ~1 km2 in the southwestern part of Limnos, Island, northeast Aegean Sea, Greece. ...
  • Eick, Matthew J.; Luxton, Todd P.; Welsh, Holly A. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Numerous studies have investigated the ligand-promoted dissolution of Fe (oxyhydr)oxides. In natural environments, inorganic ligands can compete with organic ligands for surface sites on (oxyhydr)oxides which may influence ...
