    In order to better understand the provenance of the sediments and environmental change associated with the Permian-Triassic (P/T) biotic crisis, a comparative clay mineralogical study of the Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB) ...
  • Fan, Mingde; Yuan, Peng; Bergaya, Faiza; He, Hongping; Chen, Tianhu; Zhu, Jianxi; Liu, Dong (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Heterostructures formed by nanoparticles hybridized with porous hosts are of great potential in many practical applications such as catalysis, adsorption, and environmental remediation, based on their intrinsic properties. ...
  • He, Man-Chao; Zhao, Jian; Fang, Zhi-Jie; Zhang, Ping (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Kaolinite is often a cause of deformation in soft-rock tunnel engineering, leading to safety problems. In order to gain a better predictive understanding of the governing principles associated with this phenomenon, the ...
  • Wang, Yaqing; Wang, Xiaoqun; Duan, Yifeng; Liu, Yuzhong; Du, Shanyi (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Few studies have explored the change in thermal stability of poly(oxypropylene) (POP) ammonium ions after intercalation, even though several studies have focused on the modification of montmorillonite (Mt) with POP amine ...
  • Ling, Hui; Lu, Anhuai; Wang, Changqiu; Li, Yan; Chen, Peng; Zhou, Jiangong; Wang, Jian (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Landfill leachate is one of the most difficult effluents with which to deal from an environmental perspective because of its concentration and complex composition, including refractory and toxic components such as heavy ...
  • Liu, Ming-Ming; Cao, Xing-Hui; Tan, Wen-Feng; Feng, Xiong-Han; Qiu, Guo-Hong; Chen, Xiu-Hua; Liu, Fan (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    The role of Mn oxide in the abiotic formation of humic substances has been well demonstrated. However, information on the effect of crystal structure and surface-chemical characteristics of Mn oxide on this process is ...

    Mineral-microbe interactions are widespread in a number of environmental processes such as mineral weathering, decomposition, and transformation. Both clay minerals and silicate-weathering bacteria are widely distributed ...
  • 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.
  • Bachir, Cherifa; Lan, Yanhua; Mereacre, Valeriu; . Powell, Annie K; Koch, Christian Bender; Weidler, Peter G. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Pillared clays (PILCs) with magnetic properties have significant potential for application in industry and the environment, but relatively few studies of these types of materials have been carried out. The aim of the present ...
  • Scarlett, Nicola V. Y.; Raven, Mark; Madsen, Ian (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Nontronite is a significant component of commercially important nickel laterite ores. Its behavior during high-pressure acid leaching of such ores may have an impact upon the efficiency of the process. The present study ...
  • Guerra, Denis L.; Silva, Emiliano M.; Lara, Weber; Batista, Adriano C . (The Clay Minerals Society, 2011)
    Mercury ion removal from waste-waters has been the subject of extensive research. The aim of the present investigation was to report the incorporation of the n-alkylamine molecules onto a bentonite surface and the capacities ...
