On the Chemical Composition of Sepiolite and Palygorskite [PDF]
AbstractMany studies of the chemical composition of sepiolite and palygorskite have been carried out using analytical electron microscopy (AEM). According to the literature, a compositional gap exists between sepiolites and palygorskites, but the results presented here show that they may all be intermediate compositions between two extremes.

Enhanced Viscosity of Aqueous Palygorskite Suspensions through Physical and Chemical Processing [PDF]
Palygorskite has remarkable rheological properties and was used to increase the stability and viscosity of aqueous suspensions. The effects of different physical and chemical processing methods on the apparent viscosity and plastic viscosity of the ...

The difference of thermal stability between Fe-substituted palygorskite and Al-rich palygorskite [PDF]
Sedimentary palygorskite (SP) and hydrothermal palygorskite (HP) were characterized by XRF, TG/DSC, and XRD. The total iron and dissociative iron in palygorskite were detected using spectrophotometry. The results showed that about 3.57 wt% of Fe2O3 was detected in SP in contrast with 0.4 wt% in HP. SP was a Fe-substituted palygorskite, and HP was an Al-

Trioctahedral entities in palygorskite: Near-infrared evidence for sepiolite-palygorskite polysomatism [PDF]
The mixed dioctahedral-trioctahedral character of Mg-rich palygorskite has been previously described by the formula yMg5 Si8 O20(OH)2(OH2)4(1–y)[xMg2Fe2(1–x)Mg2 Al2] Si8 O20(OH)2(OH2)4, where y is the trioctahedral fraction of this two-chain ribbon mineral with an experimentally determined upper limit of y 0.5 and x is the FeIII content in the M2 sites

A Biotechnological Approach to Enzyme-Based Fertilisers: Immobilisation of Acid Phosphatases. [PDF]
The immobilization performance of M2‐32 varied with clay type, with palygorskite providing the highest catalytic reaction and stability. After immobilization, the enzyme preserved its broad pH and temperature tolerance. Neither the free nor the immobilized protein produced measurable changes in the rhizosphere microbial diversity.

Paleoenvironmental Stasis for the Bioturbating Community During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum at the Southern Iberian Margin. [PDF]
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.

Clays for Low-Carbon Cements: Overview, Progress, and Challenges. [PDF]
This review provides a critical overview of recent developments of activated clays to function as artificial pozzolans. After a thorough description of the clays that yield good pozzolanic performances, selected examples are given on thermal and mechanical activations. Chiefly, general correlations are extracted from reported data despite its scattered
