Calcium and Multi‐Isotope Constraints on Cation Exchange in Groundwater

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Cation exchange is one of the most important processes in water‐rock interaction in the presence of clay minerals, with a common Ca‐Mg‐Na exchange system. However, systematic verification of Ca isotopes for tracing cation exchange in natural environments is lacking due to overlapping factors, such as dissolution‐precipitation of Ca‐minerals ...

Late Holocene mud sedimentation and diagenesis in the Firth of Thames: Bentonites in the making

open access: yes, 2013
Late Holocene mud sedimentation in the southern Firth of Thames has been described from analysis of a number of shallow marine sediment cores. Three distinct lithofacies are distinguished on the basis of sediment texture and mineralogy.

Laurasian Seaway History During the Early Jurassic From Quantitative Mineralogy and Detrital Zircon Dating

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Laurasian Seaway comprises a N‐S oriented trans‐Pangaean corridor linking Tethys to the Boreal Sea during the Jurassic, and direction of water flow has been the subject of considerable debate. The Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) borehole, Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales, is a uniquely informative record that comprises an expanded deep‐marine silty ...

Photocatalytic Disinfection of Bacteria by Sodium Light with Smectite Catalysts

open access: yes, 2006
In this study, modifications of Wyoming smectite clay minerals are conducted using four types of metallic cations that cover the surface with Ag+, Zn2+, Ti4+ and Ag+/Zn2+ to form smectite catalysts and destroy bacteria.

Re-evaluating the evidence of aflatoxin B1 intercalation into smectite interlayer: a review based on basal spacing data

open access: yesSains Tanah: Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology
The bonding mechanism of aflatoxin B1 (AfB1) onto smectite in the batch adsorption test remains a subject of ongoing debate. One key aspect under contention is whether the interlayer of smectite is accessible to the AfB1 molecule.

Low temperatures and high water/rock ratios in asteroid (101955) Bennu's history based on X‐ray powder diffraction of returned samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1077-1094, June 2026.
Abstract Samples returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission from the carbonaceous asteroid (101955) Bennu hold clues about conditions in the early solar system and the formation of planetary bodies. Initial investigation of Bennu samples found that they are rich in phyllosilicates and other secondary minerals formed during aqueous alteration of a larger ...

Hydrothermal synthesis of smectite from dickite

open access: yes, 2006
Dioctahedral smectite was prepared hydrothermally from dickite [AlSiO(OH)] as a starting material by autoclaving in a closed stainless steel vessel with variable temperature, pressure, time and pH conditions.

Experimental study of the electrokinetic behaviour of kaolinite–smectite mixtures

open access: yes, 2017
The evolution of the behaviour of kaolinite–smectite mixtures was studied using mechanical and electrokinetic tests. Oedometric tests showed that the compression index of the mixtures increases with increasing smectite percentage and that the curves ...
