From spent dye-loaded palygorskite to a multifunctional palygorskite/carbon/Ag nanocomposite
Palygorskite (PAL) has been widely used for adsorption removal of dyes from wastewater, but the dye-loaded PAL is usually discharged as solid waste because it is hardly regeneratable by conventional elution processes.

Octahedral cation distribution in palygorskite [PDF]
The OH speciation of 18 palygorskite samples from various localities were evaluated by near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and compared to the corresponding octahedral composition derived from independent, single-particle analytical electron microscopy (AEM).

Influence of palygorskite structure on the adsorption of tritium from aqueous solutions
The aim of the work is to determine the possibility of using the palygorskite adsorbent in removing tritium from protium-tritium water (HTO). The article is based on results of experiments using palygorskite from the Cherkassy deposit (Ukraine) and ...

Purification of Sepiolite and Palygorskite.
Methods of purifying sepiolite-paygorskite series were reviewed and discussed under the two purification categories: extraction of elements and elimination of minerals.A number of previous works focused on the extraction of elements from sepiolite by acid treatment because knowledge gained from basic studies on dissolution kinetics, structural ...

Mechanisms of near‐normal sea water dolomitisation: Mesohaline‐reflux or syn‐depositional?
This study investigates the dolomitisation of the Eocene Dammam Formation on the Arabian Plate using petrographic, mineralogical, geochemical and isotopic analyses. The findings reveal two distinct dolomite types, formed primarily through normal‐to‐mesohaline sea water dolomitisation, challenging previous models such as sabkha‐meteoric mixing.
