  • Kaufhold, Stephan; Dohrmann, Reiner; Stucki, Joseph W.; Anastacio, Alexandre S. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    The layer charge density (LCD) of montmorillonite represents the permanent negative charge, its most important property. The LCD can be determined by two different methods, the structural formula method(SF M) and the ...
  • Blum, Alex; Lee, Lopaka; Eberl, Dennis (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Blum and Eberl (2004) presented a new technique for determining the surface area of clay minerals in sediment samples by measuring the amount of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) [CAS#9003-39-8] adsorbed by a sample, and explained ...
  • Rozov, K.B.; Berner, U.; Kulik, D.A.; Diamond, L.W. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    The naturally occurring layered double hydroxides (LDH, or anionic clays) are of particular interest in environmental geochemistry because of their ability to retain hazardous cations and especially anions. However, ...
  • Ma, Mark (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Kaolinite is a common gangue mineral in iron ore and sodium silicate has been used widely as a dispersant of silicate gangue minerals including kaolinite in various iron-ore flotation methods over a wide range of pH. Its ...
  • Flores, Jorge; Lima, Enrique; Maubert, Marisela; Aduna, Enrique; Rivera, Jose Luis (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Toxic dyes must be removed from waste water coming from the textile and paint industries. Adsorption is one possible method of removing dyes under ‘soft’ conditions, without the generation of secondary hazardous materials. ...
  • Kadir, Selahattin; Erman, Hande; Erkoyun, HuLya (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    The Kutahya kaolinite deposits are the most important source of raw materials for the ceramics industry in Turkey. To date, no detailed mineralogical or geochemical characterizations of these materials have been carried ...
  • Stojakovic, Djordje; Milenkovic, Jelena; Daneu, Nina; Rajic, Nevenka (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Toxic metal contamination of waste waters can be mitigated by metal adsorption to clay and zeolitic minerals, but in developing countries such environmental remediation can be cost prohibitive if these minerals are not ...
  • Karakaya, Muazzez Celik; Karakaya, Necati; Temel, Abidin (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Abstract—The Middle-Upper Miocene-Pliocene sediments near Polatlı contain commercial sepiolitic clay deposits. The sepiolite-rich Polatlı basin sediments were studied to describe the sepiolitic clay deposits of the area ...
  • Marques, Rosa; Dias, M. Isabel; Prudencio, M. Isabel; Rocha, Fernando (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Clay-rich deposits of Upper Cretaceous levels in the Taveiro (Reveles and S. Pedro) and Aveiro (Bustos) regions of west-central Portugal are economically and environmentally important, but detailed chemical and mineralogical ...
  • Maghsoodloorad, Hojjatollah; Mirfendereski, Seyed Mojtaba; Mohammadi, Toraj; Pak, Afshin (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of chemical parameters on the characterizationof W-type zeolite crystals and their intergrowths with other types of zeolites. The crystal size and purity ofW-type ...
  • Milliken, Ralph E.; Bish, David L. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Even the most casual observer will recognize that rocks transform to clay minerals over time on Earth, and clay minerals have played a particularly important role in the geologic evolution of our planet as well as the ...
  • Bristow, Thomas F.; Milliken, Ralph E. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    The discovery of phyllosilicates in terrains of Noachian age (>3.5 Ga) on Mars implies a period in the planet’s history that was characterized by wetter, warmer conditions that may have been more hospitable for life than ...
  • Ehlmann, Bethany L.; Mustard, John F.; Clark, Roger N.; Swayze, Gregg A.; Murchie, Scott L. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    The enhanced spatial and spectral resolution provided by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has led to the discovery of numerous hydrated silicate ...
  • Bishop, Janice L.; Gates, Will P.; Makarewicz, Heather D.; Mckeown, Nancy K.; Hiroi, Takahiro (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Beidellites may exist on Mars and represent intermediate alteration products; their presence would indicate different alteration environments than previously identified because montmorillonite is a low-grade alteration ...
  • Mckeown, Nancy K.; Bishop, Janice L.; Cuadros, Javier; Hillier, Stephen; Amador, Elena; Makarewicz, Heather D.; Parente, Mario; Silver, Eli A. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    The Al-clay-rich rock units at Mawrth Vallis, Mars, have been identified as mixtures of multiple components based on their spectral reflectance properties and the known spectral character of pure clay minerals. In particular, ...
  • Velbel, Michael A.; Palmer, Eric E. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Outer main-belt asteroids are predominantly of the C-type (carbonaceous), suggesting that they are likely parent bodies of carbonaceous chondrites. Abundant phyllosilicates in some classes of carbonaceous chondrites have ...
  • Unknown author (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    The following are some papers that have been accepted for publication in future issues of Clays and Clay Minerals.
  • Wu, Pingxiao; Zhang, Qian; Dai, Yaping; Zhu, Nengwu; Li, Ping; Wu, Jinhua; Dang, Zhi (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Among the many techniques used to remove toxic dyes from the environment, layered double hydroxides (LDH) are considered to be especially environmentally friendly, but, this quality may be altered by variations in the ...
  • Wang, Jincheng; Guo, Xi; Zheng, Xiaoyu; Zhao, Yi; Li, Weifei (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Most natural and synthetic rubbers have inherently high flammability, a property which limits their uses. The aim of the present work was to study the effect of organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) and modified OMMT on the ...
