Comparative Study on the Effects of Mechanical Treatment by High-Energy Ball Milling on Talc and Kaolinite

Applied Sciences
A comparative study on the effects of mechanical treatment by high-energy ball milling on talc (2:1 layered silicate) and kaolinite (1:1 layer silicate) was performed. Industrial samples of talc and kaolin were characterized by XRF, thermal analysis (DTA

Weakening Processes in Carbonate‐Hosted Faults: Phyllosilicate Microlayers and Injections Along the Mattinata Fault (Southern Italy)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Micrometric phyllosilicate films along fault slip surfaces (SSs) can drastically reduce friction, yet they are unexpected in clay‐poor carbonate platforms. We inquire how a major carbonate‐hosted, seismogenic strike‐slip fault can develop weak slip interfaces and undergo dynamic weakening despite an intrinsically strong host rock.

Adsorption characteristics of metal ions on kaolinite

矿业科学学报, 2017
The adsorption of negative charge on kaolinite particles surface is the main reason that causes coal slime water settle difficult.By studing adsorption dynamics of Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+ on kaolinite, adsorption tests of single kind of ions on kaolinite,

Enhancing the properties of high-density oil well cement with Qusaiba kaolinite

Scientific Reports
High-density cement slurries used in oil well cementing often face challenges such as particle settling, poor rheological properties, permeability, and compressive strength degradation, which can compromise zonal isolation and well integrity.

Evaluating Soil Carbon Models for Sub‐Saharan Africa: Revealing Knowledge Gaps in Subtropical and Tropical Soil Biogeochemistry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Process‐based soil carbon (C) models are increasingly used to project regional and global C cycle responses to climate change. However, the development and evaluation of these models has largely focused on temperate regions of North America and Europe.

Cenozoic Time Constraints on the Evolution of a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol Toposequence, Northwest Amazon Basin, Brazil

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT Deciphering the time milestones of clay formation is crucial for modeling the evolution of major geological systems near the Earth's surface. In the present study, kaolinite samples collected along four vertical profiles within a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol soil toposequence near São Gabriel da Cachoeira, NW Amazon Basin (Brazil) are dated using ...

Paleoenvironmental Stasis for the Bioturbating Community During the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum at the Southern Iberian Margin

Geobiology, Volume 24, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT During the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), there was an increase in global temperatures and emissions of isotopically depleted carbon, resulting in a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE). This climatic event caused a widespread ocean deoxygenation, leading to substantial biotic turnover.

Enhancing Soil Aggregation and Water Retention by Applying Kaolinite Clay to Post‐Tin‐Mined Land on Belitung Island, Indonesia

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 2411-2423, 30 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Post‐mining sandy soils have low water retention, which causes soil particle separation and persistent soil erosion. Although organic matter is commonly used for soil restoration, it is lightweight, washes away during heavy rain, and decomposes under strong sunlight.

Nutrition Status of Trees on Spoil Heaps After Coal Mining Can Be Inferred From Seasonal Dynamics of Foliar Nutrient Concentrations

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 2583-2596, 30 April 2026.
ABSTRACT A stable vegetation cover on given habitat conditions can be one of the possible requirements for post‐mining sites, as it can prevent erosion and dustiness of these anthropogenic surfaces and bring several practical future benefits, such as biomass production and microclimate improvement.

3D‐Printed Geopolymer as a Basic Heterogeneous Catalyst for the Synthesis of α‐Cyanoacrylates Through the Knoevenagel Condensation

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 16, 25 April 2026.
3D‐printed geopolymers are presented as efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalysts for the Knoevenagel condensation. Under mild and green conditions, they promote the high‐yield synthesis of diverse α‐cyanoacrylates with remarkable stability and scalability.
