    The fertility of soils with respect to K+ and NH4 + is often difficult to measure, but is essential for achieving effective agronomic practices. This problem is especially important in the Vertisols of Thailand. The purpose ...
  • Diaz, Magali; Robert, Jean-louis; Schroeder, Paul A.; Prost, Rene (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Far-infrared (FIR) analysis of synthetic Mg-, Ni-, Co-, and Fe-phlogopites coupled with structural data from X-ray diffraction revealed that the K interlayer environments are directly related to octahedral sheet composition ...
  • Kawano, Motoharu; Hwang, Jinyeon (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Proteins and protein-like molecules are abundant in various geochemical environments; they form complexes with mineral surfaces and with dissolved organic matter. To evaluate the effect of proteins on rates of dissolution ...
  • Mosser-ruck, Regine; Cathelineau, Michel; Guillaume, Damien; Charpentier, Delphine; Rousset, Davy; Barres, Odile; Michau, Nicolas (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    In deep geological repositories for high-level nuclear wastes, interactions between steel canisters and clay-rich materials may lead to mineralogical transformations with a loss of the confining properties of the clays. ...

  • Dixon, Joe B. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
  • Deocampo, Daniel M.; Behrensmeyer, Anna K.; Potts, Richard (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The Pleistocene Olorgesailie Formation in the southern Kenya Rift has yielded a remarkable assemblage of Acheulean artifacts and vertebrate fossils, including hominin specimen KNM-OG 45500. Members 1 and 7 both contain ...
  • Liang, Hu-nan; Long, Zhu; Zhang, Hui; Yang, Shu-hui (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Acid-activated bentonites are utilized in many applications, including those that depend on their rheological properties and behavior, but little information is available regarding the rheological characteristics of this ...
  • Yuan, Hongji; Bish, David L. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    NEWMOD was developed by R.C. Reynolds, Jr., for the study of two-component interstratifications of clay minerals. One-dimensional X-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles of an interstratified system of two clay minerals can be ...
  • Guerra, Denis L.; Ferrreira, Josane N.; Pereira, Mario J.; Viana, Rubia R.; Airoldi, Claudio (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The contamination of aquatic environments by toxic metals such as radionuclides is of great concern because of the tendency of those metals to accumulate in the vital organs of humans and animals, causing severe health ...
  • Sommer, Alicia E.; Fetter, Geolar; Bosch, Pedro; Lara, Victor H (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The morphology of hydrotalcites determines their use in catalysis, biomedicine, or adsorption as they may work as anion exchangers or as drug deliverers. In catalysis, reagents need access to as much surface area as possible; ...
  • Mazzieri, Francesco; Emidio, Gemmina Di; Van Impe, Peter O. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Chemically modified bentonites are being developed with the aim of preserving low hydraulic conductivity in the presence of potentially aggressive permeants in pollutant-containment applications. ‘Multiswellable’ bentonite ...
  • Wahle, Michael W.; Bujnowski, Thomas J.; Guggenheim, Stephen; Kogure, Toshihiro (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The objective of this paper is to describe the new serpentine group mineral, guidottiite, which is analogous to cronstedtite. Guidottiite has an ideal chemical composition of (Mn2Fe3+)(SiFe3+)O5(OH)4. The sample is from ...
  • Gao, Xiaodong; Schulze, Darrell G. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Secondary Fe(III) oxyhydroxides play a key role in controlling the mobility and bioavailability of trace metals in acidic, sulfate-rich soils, such as mining and smelter sites. Schwertmannite, jarosite, goethite, and ...
  • Somelar, Peeter; Kirsimae, Kalle; Hints, Rutt; Kirs, Juho (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The mineralogical characteristics of Ordovician and Silurian K-bentonites in the Baltic Basin were investigated in order to understand better the diagenetic development of these sediments and to link illitization with the ...
  • Likos, William J.; Wayllace, Alexandra (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Methods for predicting the volume change and swelling-pressure behavior of expansive clays require detailed understanding of coupled interactions between clay microstructure and macrostructure under hydraulic, thermal, and ...
