  • Seabaugh, Jennifer L.; Dong, Hailiang; Kukkadapu, Ravi K.; Eberl, Dennis D.; Morton, John P.; Kim, Jinwook (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2006)
    Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 reduces Fe(III) within two illites which have different properties: the Fithian bulk fraction and the <0.2 mm fraction of Muloorina. The Fithian illite contained 4.6% (w/w) total Fe, 81% of ...
  • Laverret, Emmanuel; Mas, Patricia Patrier; Beaufort, Daniel; Kister, Philippe; Quirt, David; Bruneton, Patrice; Clauer, Norbert (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2006)
    Unconformity-related uranium deposits, which represent a significant high-grade uranium resource, are systematically surrounded by a host-rock alteration halo enriched in clay minerals. Illite is often the major clay mineral ...
  • Kister, Philippe; Laverret, Emmanuel; Quirt, David; Cuney, Michel; Mas, Patricia Patrier; Beaufort, Daniel; Bruneton, Patrice (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2006)
    The spatial distribution of the dominant matrix minerals present in the middle-Proterozoic Athabasca Group sandstone (kaolin, illite, sudoite, dravite, hematite) was studied at a regional scale in the Shea Creek region ...
  • Elliott, W. Crawford; Basu, Ankan; Wampler, J. Marion; Elmore, R. Douglas; Grathoff, Georg H. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2006)
    The clay fractions of Jurassic marls in the Great Estuarine Group in southern Isle of Skye are composed of mixed-layered illite-smectite (I-S) with large percentages (>85%) of illite layers, kaolinite, and generally smaller ...
  • Varadachari, Chandrika (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2006-09)
    This paper presents a novel concept in the thermodynamic derivation of phase diagrams for clay minerals that incorporates fuzzy transition zones. This new technique yields phase diagrams that have graded (fuzzy) zones of ...
  • Sindern, Sven; Stanjek, Helge; Hilgers, Christoph; Etoundi, Yvonne (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    Investigation of material from three core sections of the RWTH-1 drill-hole in the Wurm syncline of Aachen, Germany, shows mineralogical and structural evidence of intensive hydrothermal activity in the footwall of the ...
  • Kameda, Jun; Miyawaki, Ritsuro; Drits, Victor A.; Kogure, Toshihiro (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    Polytypism in gu¨mbelite and its relationship to the fibrous or ribbon-like morphology exhibited by this Mg-rich illite were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) and ...
  • Aldega, Luca; Botti, Flavia; Corrado, Sveva (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    Temperature-dependent clay mineral assemblages and vitrinite reflectance data have been used to investigate levels of diagenesis from the Messinian Laga Basin in the Central Apennines developed at the footwall of the ...
  • Dogan, Meral; Dogan, A. Umran; Yesilyurt, F. Irem; Alaygut, Dogan; Buckner, Ira; Wurster, Dale Eric (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2007)
    The Clay Minerals Society published a complete characterization scheme for its ‘Source Clays’ but not for its ‘Special Clays’. To address this issue, the specific surface areas (SSAs) of the 16 special clays from The Clay ...
  • Van De Kamp, Peter C. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2008)
    Quantitative analysis of the smectite-to-illite and illite-to-muscovite transformations indicates that 17-28 wt.% SiO2 and 17-23 wt.% SiO2, respectively, are liberated during these reactions, assuming that Al is conserved. ...
  • Bongiolo, Everton Marques; Patrier-mas, Patricia; Mexias, Andre Sampaio; Beaufort, Daniel; Formoso, Milton Luiz Laquintini (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2008)
    TheAu-C u (>Pb, Zn, Ag) prospects of Lavras do Sul, southernmost Brazil, arehoste d in Neoproterozoic granitic and volcanogenic rocks. Mineralization occurs in structurally controlled N40ºW to E-W quartz veins; sericite ...
  • Wenk, H.-r.; Voltolini, M.; Mazurek, M.; Van Loon, L. R.; Vinsot, A. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2008)
    Anisotropy in clay-rich sedimentary rocks is receiving increasing attention. Seismic anisotropy is essential in the prospecting for petroleum deposits. Anisotropy of diffusion has become relevant for environmental contaminants, ...
  • Mantovani, Marco; Escudero, Alberto; Becerro, Ana Isabel (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Understanding the mechanisms for illitization of clay minerals has important applications in reconstructing geologic histories and determining the origins of physical and chemical characteristics of buried sediments. While ...
  • Drits, Victor A.; Zviagina, Bella B. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    A comprehensive study of clay minerals should include determination of the vacancy pattern of the dioctahedral sheet. The purpose of this report is to consider the advantages and limitations in various diffraction and ...
  • Kohler, Eric; Parra, Teddy; Vidal, Olivier (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The storage of CO2 in geological reservoirs requires an understanding of the impact of CO2 on clay-rich sealing cap-rocks to identify and explore critical parameters that modify petrophysical properties such as permeability ...
  • Srodon, Jan; Zeelmaekers, Edwin; Derkowski, Arkadiusz (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The nature of component layers of mixed-layer illite-smectite and their possible evolution in the course of illitization have been debated since the 1960s. The present study is a new attempt to solve these problems, using ...
  • Nieto, Fernando; Mellini, Marcello; Abad, Isabel (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    In spite of decades of research on the subject, the crystal structure of illite is still poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to address this problem by investigating the nature of the interlayer content in ...
  • Kogure, Toshihiro; Drits, Victor A. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images oftwo dioctahedral micas, celadonite and cis-vacant (cv) illite, were examined in detail to understand the effects of electron radiation on their structures ...
  • Vidal, Olivier; Dubacq, Benoit; Lanari, Pierre (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The arguments of Nieto et al. (2010) in favor of the incorporation of H3O+ rather than H2O in interlayer positions of illite are disputable. Stoichiometric arguments suggest that the excess water in the Silver Hill illite ...
  • Nieto, Fernando; Mellini, Marcello; Abad, Isabel (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The arguments of Vidal et al. (2010) against the incorporation of H3O+ rather than of H2O in the interlayer position of illite are disputable. Stoichiometric arguments do indeed suggest that the excess water in the Silver ...
