Removal of Lead from Aqueous Solutions Using Iranian Natural Sepiolite: Effects of Contact Time, Temperature, pH, Dose and Heat-Pretreatments [PDF]
Sepiolite is a low-cost mineral widely distributed in arid regions of the world. Due to the structural properties, sepiolite has high sorption capacity for heavy metals. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of solution temperature,

Non-stoichiometric dissolution of sepiolite [PDF]
Sepiolite is one of the few Mg-phyllosilicates thought to precipitate at Earth’s near-surface conditions, and in hydrothermal systems. Understanding the dissolution mechanisms of sepiolite can elucidate Mg-silicate dissolution processes in general and ...

Chemical controls on incipient Mg-silicate crystallisation at 25oC : implications for early and late diagenesis [PDF]
Mg-silicate minerals (e.g., stevensite, kerolite, talc, sepiolite) play an important role in the construction of facies models in lacustrine and peri-marine environments because they are sensitive to changes in solution chemistry.

Effect of sepiolite organomodification on the performance of PCL/sepiolite nanocomposites [PDF]
Abstract Poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) based nanocomposites with unmodified and organomodified sepiolites were prepared by solution casting method. The sepiolites were modified with short (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (SEP-SI) by using covalent grafting or with long hexadecylamine (SEP-HDA) by using ionic exchange.

Sepiolite from Serbian deposits as an industrial mineral [PDF]
Long-termed geological exploration of sepiolite in Serbia has proved that there exist two structuralmorphological types of sepiolite deposits: the vein type - in ultrabasic rocks, associated with vein magnesite deposits (of Goleš, Trnava, Milićevci ...

Sepiolite organic modifiers effect on pet/sepiolite nanocomposites degradation
In this paper the effect of different organosepiolites on PET matrix was evaluated through the analyses of Melt Flow Index (MFI) and Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) of the nanocomposites. PET/sepiolite nanocomposites were produced through a two-stage process.
