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

Nanocomposites for Water Treatment, Photocatalysis, and Challenges: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
A nanocomposite synthesized via sol‐gel, chemical vapor deposition, or in‐situ polymerization effectively removes dyes and heavy metals from water, yielding purified water. Additionally, it exhibits high photocatalytic degradation efficiency under visible or UV light.

Influence of temperature and time on the Eu3+ reaction with synthetic Na-Mica-n (n = 2 and 4) [PDF]
Bentonite is accepted as the best clay material for the engineered barrier of Deep Geological Repositories (DGRs). The performance of clay as the main component of the engineered barrier in the DGR has been intensively studied and the structure of the ...

Phase-structural irregularity of the mechanically activated saponite-containing material surface
The purpose of the studies was to evaluate the possibility of using mechanically activated saponite-containing material (SCM) as an additional binder in cementitious binders of hydration type of hardening. According to the working hypothesis, the activated SCM is able to show the binding properties.

Spitzer IRS Spectroscopy of the 10 Myr-old EF Cha Debris Disk: Evidence for Phyllosilicate-Rich Dust in the Terrestrial Zone [PDF]
We describe Spitzer IRS spectroscopic observations of the 10 Myr-old star, EF Cha. Compositional modeling of the spectra from 5 {\mu}m to 35 {\mu}m confirms that it is surrounded by a luminous debris disk with LD/L\star ~ 10-3, containing dust with ...

Structure formation in the «clay soil – carbide sludge» dispersed system [PDF]
Introduction. Clay soil is a multiphase, multicomponent aluminosilicate dispersed system with specific properties determined not only by its composition but also by the formation of coagulative and transition contacts (binds) between the soil particles ...

Evaluation of rare earth on layered silicates under subcritical conditions: Effect of the framework and interlayer space composition [PDF]
Clay-based minerals are considered to be an important component in backfill barriers due to both their ability to seal and adsorb radioactive waste and to interact chemically with it under subcritical conditions. Herein, we describe a systematic study of
