  • 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 ...
  • Schoonheydt, Robert (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)

  • 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. ...
  • Goncalves, Italo Gomes; Petter, Carlos Otavio; Machado, Jaqueline Lepkoski (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Kaolin ores are usually contaminated by some Fe-bearing minerals, the strong colors of which degrade the quality of the final product. A spectroscopic technique is sought to quantify the content of hematite and goethite, ...
  • Kim, Jin-wook; Kogure, Toshihiro; Yang, Kiho; Kim, Sang-tae; Jang, Young-nam; Baik, Hion-suck; Geesey, Gill (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    Mineralization of microbial biomass is a common phenomenon in geothermal habitats, but knowledge of the structure of the minerals formed in these environments is limited. A combination of spectroscopic, microscopic, and ...
  • Naumann, Thomas E.; Elliott, W. Crawford; Wampler, J. M. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    K-Ar measurements were used in this study of upland Savannah River Site soils to distinguish between sorbed K and the K remaining in remnants of primary minerals. Study of sorbed K contributes to understanding further the ...
  • Ufer, Kristian; Kleeberg, Reinhard; Bergmann, Jorg; Dohrmann, Reiner (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    X-ray diffraction patterns of oriented mounts of clay minerals are often used in clay mineralogy for qualitative and quantitative purposes. Fequently occurring stacking defects, in particular, can be characterized by this ...
  • Ufer, Kristian; Kleeberg, Reinhard; Bergmann, Jorg; Dohrmann, Reiner (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2012)
    X-ray diffraction (XRD) of powdered materials is one of the most common methods used for structural characterization as well as for the quantification of mineral contents in mixtures. The application of the Rietveld method ...
