Alkali-activated bentonite clay-limestone cements
The development of sustainable cements requires the expansion and optimization of the mineral resources base. In this study, the medium-grade bentonite clay and limestone as a promising, available, low carbon, and abundant starting materials, were investigated as binary precursors for eco-friendly non-clinker alkali-activated cements development ...

Validating DNA Extraction Protocols for Bentonite Clay
Extraction of microbial DNA from MX-80 bentonite is challenging due to low biomass and adsorption of nucleic acid molecules to the charged clay matrix. Blocking agents improve DNA recovery, but their impact on microbial community profiles from low-biomass samples has not been characterized well.
