Low temperature, authigenic illite and carbonates in a mixed dolomite-clastic lagoonal and pedogenic setting, Spanish Central System, Spain [PDF]
The aim of this study was to further our understanding of the pedogenic and lacustrine modification of clay minerals. Some of these modifications are of special interest because they constitute reverse weathering reactions, rare in surface environments ...

Sorption is a well‐known method for radionuclide removal, but the high cost of synthetic sorbents constrains its application. This study investigates the potential of locally sourced diatomite from Kariandusi, Kenya, as a cost‐effective sorbent for capturing barium (Ba), cobalt (Co) and zinc (Zn) from radioactive liquid waste.
