  • Li, Yanfeng; Sun, Dewen; Pan, Xiaobing; Zhang, Bo (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The preparation and characterization of intercalated kaolinite is important for industries such as those using nanocomposites, but the number of compounds that can be intercalated into these clay minerals is rather limited. ...
  • Arslan, Volkan; Bayat, Oktay (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The use of microorganisms to remove Fe (oxyhydr)oxides from kaolins has the potential to be an effective method for upgrading the whiteness and brightness, and therefore the commercial value, of the kaolin. The purpose of ...
  • Zhang, G.Y.; Hu, Y.F.; Xu, R.K.; Dynes, J.J.; Blyth, R.I.R.; Kozak, L. M.; Huang, P. M. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The chemistry of Al transformation has been well documented, though little is known about the mechanisms of structural perturbation of Al precipitates by carbonates at a molecular level. The purpose of the present study ...
  • Komadel, Dr. Peter (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    It was a great honor for meto introducePro fessor Joseph W. Stucki from the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the 2009 Recipient of The Marilyn ...
  • 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.
  • Unknown author (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The following are gratefully thanked for the time and effort they have given to providing reviews of manuscripts submitted for publication in the last 12 months.
  • Tarlan-yel, Esra; Onen, Vildan (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The chemical and biological methods employed to date in the removal of free cyanide (CN-) and metal-cyanide complexes from aqueous fluids have proved expensive and problematic. A simpler and more economical approach was ...
  • Arslan, Mehmet; Abdioglu, Emel; Kadir, Selahattin (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Widespread alteration in the Upper Cretaceous pyroclastic units of the Tirebolu (Giresun) area, NE Turkey, has resulted in significant occurrences of bentonite with economic potential. No detailed geological, mineralogical, ...

  • Garcia-romero, E.; Suarez, M. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Many studies of the chemical composition of sepiolite and palygorskite have been carried out using analytical electron microscopy (AEM). According to the literature, a compositional gap exists between sepiolites and ...
  • Cruz, Maria Dolores Ruiz; Ruiz, Maria Dolores Rodriguez; De Galdeano, Carlos Sanz (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural and chemical modifications of phyllosilicates that occur under natural conditions, using the progressive deformation of chlorite (sudoite) present in quartz-rich ...
  • Kaufhold, S.; Dohrmann, R.; Klinkenberg, M. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The present study compares the water-vapor adsorption capacity of bentonites (natural cation population) with the Enslin-Neff method. Water-vapor adsorption at 50% r.h. (relative humidity) or 70% r.h. is known to depend ...
  • Ryu, Kyoung-won; Jang, Young-nam; Chae, Soo-chun (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    In spite of many studies of kaolinite synthesis, questions remain as to the transformation of gel into kaolinite, the kinetics of the reaction, and the influence of solution chemistry. The purpose of the present study was ...
  • Smrcok, L’ubomir; Tunega, Daniel; Ramirez-cuesta, Anibal Javier; Ivanov, Alexander; Valuchova, Jana (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Vibrational spectra of two kaolinite-dimethylsulfoxide intercalates, obtained using inelastic neutron scattering (INS), were analyzed with a view to understanding the dynamics of the hydrogen atoms in the structure. The ...
  • Kogure, Toshihiro; Elzea-kogel, Jessica; Johnston, Cliff T.; Bish, David L. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Although structural disorder in kaolinite has been investigated extensively, it is still not understood properly. To investigate the problem, a kaolinite specimen of sedimentary origin from Capim, Brazil, was examined, ...
  • Gu, Zheng; Song, Guojun; Liu, Weisheng; Yang, Shujing; Gao, Jianming (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The aim of the work was to study the effect of organo-montmorillonite (OMt) on the properties of hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR)/OMt nanocomposites. The nanocomposites were prepared by a melt intercalation method. The ...
  • Dohrmann, Reiner; Kaufhold, Stephan (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The aim of the present study was to find methodological tools to obtain reasonable results for exchangable Ca2+ of gypsiferous bentonites. Cation exchange capacity (CEC) is an important property of clays. Numerous methods ...
  • Liu, Xiandong; Meijer, Evert Jan; Lu, Xiancai; Wang, Rucheng (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    In order to identify the influences imposed by Fe substitution, density functional theory-based Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations were employed to study both oxidized and reduced Febearing smectites. The following ...
  • Campos, Ana M.; Moreno, Sonia; Molina, Rafael (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Vermiculites have the potential to serve as effective catalysts if pillared with Al, but their high charge presents an obstacle to the pillaring process. The purpose of this studywas to submit natural vermiculite to thermal ...
