Mineral Acquisition from Clay by Budongo Forest Chimpanzees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Chimpanzees of the Sonso community, Budongo Forest, Uganda were observed eating clay and drinking clay-water from waterholes. We show that clay, clay-rich water, and clay obtained with leaf sponges, provide a range of minerals in different concentrations.

Effect of pH on the surface charges of permanently/variably charged soils and clay minerals [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTraditionally, the surface charge number (SCN) of permanently charged soils/clay minerals is believed to be unaffected by environmental pH. However, recent studies have revealed the occurrence of polarization-induced covalent bonding between H+ and the ...

Fuzzy phase diagrams of clay minerals [PDF]
, 2006 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 mineral occurrences and includes ...
