  • Da Paz, Simone Patricia Aranha; Angelica, Romulo Simoes; Neves, Roberto De Freitas (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Bentonite deposits are rare in Brazil and most of their production comes from a single region. A new bentonite occurrence, the Formosa bentonite from northern Brazil, is described here. The occurrence is associated with ...
  • Bouna, L.; Rhouta, B.; Daoudi, L.; Maury, F.; Amjoud, M.; Senocq, F.; Lafont, M. C.; Jada, A.; Aghzzaf, A. Ait (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    The mechanism of formation of detrital, beidellite-rich clay occurring in the Agadir basin (Morocco) is well documented, but its detailed characterization is incomplete which limits its application. The aim of the present ...
  • Rabi-stankovic, A. Abu; Milutinovic-nikolic, A.; Jovic-jovicic, N.; Bankovic, P.; Zunic, M.; Mojovic, Z.; Jovanovic, D. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Phenol and its derivatives are regarded as ‘priority pollutants’ and p-nitrophenol (p-NP), in particular, is of great interest due to its toxicity and frequent presence in waste waters and fresh waters. Straightforward, ...
  • Cetin, Berrak; Unal, Halil Ibrahim; Erol, Ozlem (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    The aim of the aqueous electrokinetic experiments in the present study was to assess the relative contribution of the conducting polyindene (PIn) and inorganic colemanite components to the zeta (z) potentials of the composite ...
  • Kanitpanyacharoen, Waruntorn; Kets, Frans B.; Wenk, Hans-rudolf; Wirth, Richard (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    The thermal maturity of samples of the Posidonia Shale collected from the Hils Syncline, northern Germany, varies significantly as a function of location indicating variations in local history. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction ...
  • He, Man-chao; Zhao, Jian (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Kaolinite is often a cause of deformation in soft-rock tunnel engineering, leading to safety problems. The mechanism of the deformation is closely related to the interaction between kaolinite and water molecules. Because ...
  • Malla, Prakash B. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
  • Liu, Xiandong; Meijer, Evert Jan; Lu, Xiancai; Wang, Rucheng (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Using first-principles molecular-dynamics simulations, probable inner-sphere complexes of Fe2+ adsorbed on the edge surfaces of clay minerals were investigated. Ferrous ions are important reductants in natural processes ...
  • Derkowski, Arkadiusz; Bristow, Thomas F. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    The increasing exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbon resources hosted by oil and gas shales demands the correct measurement of certain properties of sedimentary rocks rich in organic matter (OM). Two essential ...
  • Kim, Sungho; Motyka, Michael A.; Palomino, Angelica M.; Podraza, Nikolas J. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    The conformational behavior of polymers in clay-polymer nanocomposites (CPN) is not fully understood because of the many factors involved. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the conformational behavior of ...
  • Deng, Youjun; Liu, Lian; Velazquez, Ana Luisa Barrientos; Dixon, Joe B. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Using bentonites to adsorb aflatoxin is an effective method of minimizing the toxicity of aflatoxin to animals and humans. Early studies indicated a more than 10-fold difference in aflatoxin adsorption capacity among ...
  • Agha, Mohamed; Ferrell, Ray E.; Hart, George F. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    The purpose of the present investigation was to apply a discriminant function analysis (DFA) to quantitative mineralogical data from 124 Paleogene and Neogene bentonitic clays from the northern Western Desert of Egypt in ...
  • Ma, Mark (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Freshwater has become increasingly scarce in many countries. To reduce the consumption of freshwater, the use of saline water resources in industry could provide an opportunity to meet the challenge of water-supply ...
  • Yamagishi, Akihiko; Sato, Hisako (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Attempts at optical resolution and asymmetric syntheses using smectite clay minerals are described. Use of the method was prompted by the discovery that the saturated adsorption of a tris(chelated) metal complex, ...
  • Cheshire, Michael C.; Bish, David L.; Brassell, Simon C. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Most previous studies of the kaolin deposits in the southeastern United States have focused on their mineralogy and petrology to understand better the depositional and diagenetic environments of the kaolins. Many studies ...

  • Jodin-caumon, Marie-camille; Mosser-ruck, Regine; Randi, Aurelien; Pierron, Olivier; Cathelineau, Michel; Michau, Nicolas (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    The design of the repository for high-level nuclear waste (HLW) in France consists of a multiple-barrier system including steel canisters in a clay host rock. The system will undergo temperature variations in time and ...
  • Fuchs, Marco; Abidin, Zaenal; Kubel, Christian; Weidler, Peter G.; Matsue, Naoto; Henmi, Teruo; Koster, Rainer; Gliemann, Hartmut (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    In order to obtain nanopatterned surfaces, natural allophane particles originating from Japanese soils were immobilized as single particles on Si wafer substrates.When derived from aqueous suspensions, only a few nanoparticles ...
  • Su, Kai; Radian, Adi; Mishael, Yael; Yang, Lizhong; Stucki, Joseph W. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Nitrate is linked to chronic human illness and to a variety of environmental problems, and continues to be a contaminant of concern in soils and natural waters. Improved methods for nitrate abatement, thus, are still needed. ...
